<prompt> Human: I am 25f and make a pathetic 19,000year. I have a college degree Sociology, so no, I really dont use it except as a tissue to cry into at night, and I am a hard, earnest worker. I work in the service industry, and although I am the front-runner for a promotion, I have no prospects of ever making the kind of money that most of you seem to be starting out with. I am thrifty, spending money on nothing but grocs and gas. Soon, I will have 1000 to do something other than keep myself afloat with. Pathetic, believe me, I know, but Im trying here.I have three questions for you: 1 I know Im way behind all of you normally-functioning adults, but is there any hope for me? 2 what can I can be doing better? and 3 Are there any blogs like the marvelous Mr. Money Mustache that are geared towards losers like me who make a pitiful pittance each year?Thanks in advance for your time and advice.Edit:Thank you all for your thoughtful words and suggestions. The main points Ive distilled are: 1 make an awesome resume, 2 send it out to lots of employers, 3 network, 4 keep my head down and keep taking baby steps toward my goal. You all have been tremendously helpful in clearing a mental path for me, now I have a better idea of what my next steps are :.  <response>: You might want to hang out in rjobs or rcareerguidance to try and figure out a more lucrative career path based on your education work experience.
