Feeling Lost After the Board Exam – Need Advice

Hi guys! I just want to share my thoughts and ask for your advice since I can’t really talk about this in person.

Growing up, people had high expectations of me because I did well in academics. Over time, those expectations became part of me. College was tough, especially with all the pressure, but I pushed through and even passed the board exam on my first try.

But now, three months later, I feel lost. Most of my batchmates already have jobs, while I’m still figuring things out. I really want to start working to help my family, but because of the Election Ban, my waiting time just got even longer. It’s heartbreaking, knowing I have to wait even more since I am applying in a government. On top of that, I feel like I’m slowly losing the knowledge I worked so hard to gain. Wala rin naman pong enough budget to invest sa trainings and seminars related to engineering.

I don’t know what to do at this point. Should I wait until Election Ban is over? Any advice?
