Computer Science Graduate Works at Walmart

>Graduates with a 4.0 in Computer Science >Starts applying to jobs >Couldn't even get an interview >Self-esteem obliterated >Now works at Walmart Bro doesn't deserve this :( Am I going to die alone? Love & Dating I'm 28 years old and what many women would describe as a loser. I still live with my parents and work a very undesirable job at Walmart. I used to be ambitious. I went to school for 6 years and got my Bachelor's degree in computer science. I worked hard on getting good grades and even graduated with a 4.0 GPA. I'm proud of that, but my graduation was nearly 1.5 years ago and I'm now working a shitty $14/hour job at Walmart with high school kids who earn the same as me. My dreams were kind of crushed when I started applying for entry-level jobs after graduation and couldn't land a single damn interview. I had no internships or work experience to use, so I eventually kind of just gave up. What else was supposed to do? I haven't applied for anything with my degree in a 6-7 months. I just don't think I'm capable of landing a good job with my degree at this point. It feels worthless, and I can't see why any woman around my age would want to date a guy like me that has nothing to offer. A good steady job that pays well is about the only thing I could've brought to the table to attract someone. In terms of looks: I'm incredibly short at 5'4" in height. I have bad skin that I do try to control. I take care of my hygiene and make sure I smell good and dress well. I just can't do anything about my bad looks and short height, so I'm not attracting anyone that way. My life is just incredibly lonely. I have no friends and struggle to socialize well. I don't even know what I would talk about with someone I'd be interested in dating. I've never been in a relationship before either, and I'm a virgin. Sometimes I feel like I'm too far gone and nobody would ever want to date me. Realistically, am I going to die alone? Should I come to terms with that so I can try to find a way to live with being lonely?

The meme shows a mock-bleak sequence about a computer science graduate with a perfect GPA who cannot get an interview and ends up working at Walmart, followed by a screenshot of a lonely Reddit post asking whether he will die alone. The joke is darkly sympathetic and exaggerated: academic achievement and a degree fail to produce career success or romantic confidence, making the situation feel absurdly hopeless. It is used as a reaction to job-market frustration, unemployment, low self-esteem, or feeling that hard work has not paid off.
