Sorry for wall of text.

When /u/waytoomanychoices describes someone with model-level looks, who had prep school and Yale paid for by rich dad/grandparents, who dated a handsome billionaire heir seriously enough to receive a marriage proposal, as "average", you're feeding into the depression here.

The point is, the Rory character is a fairy tale fantasy that still screwed up every advantage she was given. She represents an unreasonable and unrealistic picture of life for 99% of the world, and still screws it up.

Any of us who got Yale paid in full by wealthy parents and grandparents would be in a better spot at 31 than Rory. And there are actual plot point you can point at as to why.

OP, you did not have Rory's advantages and your life is not written yet. You don't know if you'll like a job or not until you take it. Try it, and if you don't like it, look for another one.

To me, the danger in media isn't violence or sex, it's the setting of expectations of life being like TV or movies, your OP expressed it perfectly.

Number 4 is the opposite of real advice. I'm the child of immigrants in my late 30s and this attitude (it's not millennial, it's American) that some job out there can fill your soul with happiness and fulfillment... that you need to be overjoyed with your work and career... it sounds nice and that's why people keep repeating it. But it's not real life.

Seek contentment from work. Earn money to feed yourself and your family. Seek happiness in family and friends. Seeking literal joy from your job on a day to day basis is, frankly, unrealistic.

Now if you're genuinely unhappy with work, then start earnestly looking for what you can do to change your situation. In my very unpopular opinion, this does not mean quitting your job without another job/full time education lined up, nor does it mean turning down jobs you think are beneath you when you're unemployed. Working itself provides opportunities.

/u/copperboomcopperboom, you're not Rory. If you are in a rut, What Color Is My Parachute is almost a clichéd suggestion but it is a cliché for the right reasons. It's a good way to help focus you on your next steps in life.

It helped both me and my wife. Feel free to PM me.

tl;dr I'm a former high school vocational teacher who gave high school kids career and educational advice all the time. I think my advice is solid: you can work a job you don't like while looking for one you do. One reason is that you're much more confident when you have a job and you're more likely to hold out for a job that's a great fit if you're not desperate. Exuding confidence at job interviews is important and that's much easier if you have a job and aren't sitting on your ass in mom's basement all day every day. If you're really unhappy with your career situation, do something about it. Buying and working through What Color Is My Parachute might be a great start. Anyone reading this can feel free to PM me.

I feel like it might be difficult finding something similar without a lot of scouring. The "lace overlay" style was more common then, I know I had a longer sleeve variant. A few brief Amazon searches, there are some similar, but different, tops here and here. I'll continue to dig around though, since I like the style as well.

Edit: This one is close as well, a little bit closer I think.

Watch the marvelous Mrs maisel if you haven't yet! It's glorious and will keep you similarly entertained

edit- here's the link just in case

[Found this on Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Jessica-Simpson-Braided-Placket-Outerwear/dp/B00VBAD38E/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1449713909&sr=8-20&keywords=pink+wool+coat)

It's not an exact match, but a quick switch of buttons and adding a flower pin could make it pretty close!

Yeah, a lady did a kickstarter for it a few years ago and then published. I ordered a copy from Amazon a month or two back but have only read through it so far. I haven't attempted to cook anything from it yet though! I believe that there was a post recently where the author is attempting a Kickstarter for a second book with recipes that didn't make it into the first one.

edit: Here's a link to the second Kickstarter. It looks like it was funded!

It is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent booksellers across the US.
Internationally, it's available from online retailers and chain bookstores.

Here is the link to Amazon:

I'm guessing you're not eligible for shipping, but it looks like they were recent enough!

You can download it as well for a lot cheaper but even though it's expensive I always would rather have the CD, but that's just me.
