I keep hearing from Trump's administration that "everything is historic" but this year, food, rent, and gas has all gone up. My roommate (mom) is depressed and losing hope. To be short, we both share an apartment. I've been losing hope. I cannot find and stable jobs, nor can she, and the cost of living could literally put us out of this place. We've been praying to God to protect Trump so he could make america great and affordable again. Does anyone here have any solutions on how to survive in this damn economy?

Hmm, there must be something wrong with me. I have a bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering and I'm definitely not left leaning!
I think that a degree might simply be a way of weeding out potential losers. It suggests (not always) high intelligence.
Recruiters might also look at spelling, punctuation and grammar. A typo in your resume or cover letter suggests that you lack attention to detail. When there's 2000 applicants and only one job, recruiters need ways to whittle the numbers down quickly without having to do 2000 interviews.
Also for the military, physical fitness matters. When my sons applied, they spent 6 months in the home gym working out. (Obviously this doesn't matter unless you get an interview, although you could mention fitness on your resume and a photo might be required with the application.)
I capitulate to your experience & agree that attending University or College isn't a conservative ideas death sentence. My biggest frustration with College when I attended was being guided into (often felt forced) to take multiple leftist classes to fulfill their my generals.
Inhave family that teaches in math, even on the East Coast they tell me their students don't put up with the leftist BS that other students seem to get swept away in. I assume that is the difference between math/engineering focused degrees vs a BA.
Even still I have had other family that were suprised how much leftist mindset was interjected into their MBA programs. One professor ended up mocking it, though the rest just went along with it. I will need to sak them for specifics of their classes which were almost 10 years ago IIRC.
I agree that proper grammar is a must on those resumes.
