If I've dropped off 500+ resumes. I have an education background is it fair for Mee to sell drugs cause of a lack of chance?

It's not fair because life isn't fair.

I tell you the story from my part of the world. You don't have to follow anyone because I know a lot of the people justify far worst things they do for money.

So, there was shortage of food as a famine struck the land. And there was nothing left to eat except some wheat grain. So, people instead of falling off to crime and justifying that as a way to go steal and do prostitution their master Lord himself alongside everyone used to mix the bark of the tree with the flour to eat it knowing full well that they can't survive on food alone. Things didn't get better for them right away but while they were thought to die of hunger, they thrived and gain competence to make do with less.

To this day, they are revered as great people from Sindh who chose to not commit crime and instead make do with less.

My own example is I also had education background and I really wanted to teach at University but it was in vain. I was exactly your age. So, what happened is they didn't choose me and instead offer the job to a girl who happened to be my friend at the same university and then I found out they were doing it just to teach me a lesson 😂. There was a lot of politics.

In the end I did teach and got more money out of what I thought I would get but I teach my tenants and labourers now instead of people at the university. I bought more land and got better things to do than a boring job.

Remember falling to the dark side isn't going to cut it. You have to pull the line like everyone else. You are in Canada, you can find a handsome job in Dubai or perhaps even in some Asian country. If your passport is Canadian, a Pakistani can get 25000 dirhams but same person with a Pakistani passport will probably get 2500 barely minimum wage in Dubai.

So, try your luck somewhere. And don't just get discouraged by 500 resumes. I dropped off 100 resumes before I got a job that was 20,000pkr, (120USD per month) while my colleagues at that time had 300USD jobs. I didn't do it but I learned and later on my professor called on me through the same girl the university hired to offer the job to me at a different place 😁. I now earn enough to get Canada investment visa if it was still there but I don't want to go there otherwise 😂

So, don't let the twists of fate deter you from the good path you are on.

If you get arrested for selling drugs you might as well kiss any hope of having a real career goodbye.

Can't you do both? I mean you're already at the school.
