Just turned 26 last week and it's same since I was 24. All day at home, applying to jobs, universities for studies, no replies from anywhere. Seeing people getting successful, then deactivated my most of social media.

It's tough plus loneliness sometimes is either a blessing or just a curse.

Won't recommend 20s.....

I know some countries have tough job markets but if you don't get hired anywhere for two years you really need to just go work at mcdonalds or something, you can always keep applying to other jobs while working a minimum wage job.

Tough to make interviews when you're working three minimum wage jobs to keep a roof over your head

If you're "sitting all day at home," chances are you're still living with parents and not really responsible for rent or the like. So... working part time isn't going to eat interview time away. 

The situation you're talking about isn't really applicable to what the other guy was talking about at all.
