I did a Phd in life sciences at Ohio State about three years ago, found it difficult to find a job in my field where I was living (Columbus Ohio), so spent $17k and 6 months doing an online data science course with New York Data Science Academy.

I have applied to around 100 positions, had three interviews and countless form rejection letters.

I am stuck working remotely or in the city I am in now so understand its been hard but I am just about to the point where I think I will not have a real "career" in my lifetime. I fluctuate between blaming my poor choice in going into the life sciences and the "economy" in general. Between unemployment, food stamps and living at my parents things are going pretty well but have basically given up on finding a meaningful job.
