My life in LA is terrible. I'm living with my parents in Encino.

My 1999 cars transmission died out in January 2015. I'm sharing a car with my mom and taking uber to get around.

I have no job so I can't make payments on a car.

Most of the jobs I see advertised are in Agoura Hills, Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks. With no car I can't take a job in Thousand Oaks.

Why do you think you're better than her?

I don't think I'm better than her. I just think it's unfair that she can get jobs and I can't get a job.

Life is unfair, but in the end we get what we deserve.

You spent a fortune obtaining education which cannot give you a job. You probably ain't a good fit for retail work and don't speak good Spanish (maybe you do, I don't know). You seem to have attitude.

I really wish you best luck, either in LA or in Seattle, but life might be difficult at times.

Yeah his major is garbage. WTH is a BA in radio and film?? Who listens to radio and everything is digital nowadays. Was he hoping to be the next Brad Pitt?

I can understand if that degree is from NYU/Columbia/UCLA but from CSU Northridge?? Give me a break.

Retail work isn't my type of thing. English is my only language.

I myself don't listen to radio anymore. I listen to online radio.

CSUN is a very good school.
