I graduated with a college diploma in Business. I live in Canada, so college diplomas are practically useless here, especially if you don't have co-op experience. So, for the past few years, I've been making many self-improvements in order to make myself more attractive to employers. I've been learning code, web development, animation, advanced excel, etc. Doing whatever I can to make up for my lack of a University Bachelor's Degree.

However, my only work experience is in "general labour" and "restaurant work." The thing is, I don't want to be stuck doing this for the rest of my life. I've been searching for any kind of entry-level position for advertising, marketing, or even basic office work such as filing and data entry. I've been searching for the past 3 months with no luck.

Every time I go to a job agency, the only openings/offers I get are general labour or restaurant work. I'm honestly terrified for my future because I can't do this type of work for the rest of my life. The physical demands are just too much, and I don't think my back-muscles can handle them in the long run.

**I just want to point out that I'm not trying to say that I'm "better than these jobs." I understand that the world owes me nothing.** But I want to prove myself and change my career path. Even if I get paid minimum wage for a small office job for the rest of my life, I'd rather do that than spend another year in general labour. That's how badly I can't stand my current job :(

I don't know what to do. I'm stuck. I don't know if I should go back to school. Honestly, I'd even work for free for several months if it meant getting some real on-the-job experience. I'm really stressed out and see no light in my future. I feel like it's already over for me.
