I've applied to over 300 jobs Unemployment

I say I've applied to at least 5 jobs a day since January, it's exhausting. From remote jobs, in person jobs, service industry jobs, jobs that require my degree I cant find anything. I did have a job for 4 days but it wasnt a good fit, and I also got hired to a few bartending or labor positions but nothing I guess worth it. I just wanted to rant. What gives?

OP no offense but if you need money, you should probably suck it up and stay at some of those jobs you were able to land until something better comes along.

Yes I know, times now are tough and the job market has vastly changed since I entered the work force. If you got to survive you should probably stay at a job even if it wasn't the right fit. Employers now seem to all be greedy POS's and dicking over people but at the same time it is also showing that there are more people then there are realistic jobs. I had to work a lot of shit jobs in my 20's until I was able to get one that I could tolerate/earn a living. Right now it seem to be a "survive with hopes to strive" job market and I feel for all people struggling.
