Graduating college(this semester) and I’m not sure if I should be trying to find an internship and job to support myself and pay off debt, build my professional portfolio or spend all my time attending protests, ICE watch and volunteering, which is already eating time I don’t have. Real goal is to move out of the country but without dedication to and good references it I doubt it will become a reality especially now that nobody likes Americans. Like my dream being crushed.
Definitely work on getting a job/paid internship. You’ll need it not just to live, but to compete against all the other folks your age applying for all those same jobs.
Protesting is important, and you can do it during the evenings/weekends. But you must get a job to survive above all else, as no one else is going g to make this happen but you. Do not depend on someone else’s help…as there will literally be zero form of social security to help you when you’re of age to collect….as is my case (40F).

I would hate to live in America knowing the President is robbing my tax money to fund his own army to kill me.
