My CV doesn't look good.
I took Philosophy purposely to serve as a foundation for law school. It prepared me for the reading load, ethical conflicts, and in seeing unpredictable perspectives which should help me win my cases. It also made me good at writing and debating and it showed during my first semester in law school.
Unfortunately, my mother, our family's breadwinner, lost her job here in UAE. This left me with no choice but to stop law school and work for a while to lessen the load and help with the expenses. I thought about getting a scholarship or being a working student but the void is just too big to not demand a full time gig. Problem is, "Philosophy" doesn't count for much in the workforce. Don't get me wrong, I love the subject and it made me academically independent and passionate about learning anything about everything.

• I taught myseld how to build a PC, tweak its BIOS and OS. I learned Basic Coding, Basic Electrical Engineering and Pipelining, even Cooking. I learned Fingerstyle Guitar and Ukelele, I even played in bars and I was good. I can play basic Piano. I can explain the theory of everything/singularities and how computer processors work. I installed a custom ROM in our tablet. I am an expert in Microsoft Office, including but not limited to Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. I can edit images with Photoshop and videos with Sony Vegas Pro and Adobe AfterEffects. I know basic Japanese, Spanish, French; completely fluent in English and a native in Tagalog. I am hella charismatic and a natural leader, acknowledged by my colleagues in every social sphere I belong in. I even worked as a real estate agent here for two months without a license and no one thought I was new to the industry nor had no authority to do so. I have no problem socializing or speaking in public as an emcee; or what have you. I am an excellent judge of character and I understand humans and their actions on a deep philosophical level (or at least theoretically). I have excellent taste in culture, humanities, and arts and have much to say about politics, conspiracies, and power plays globally. I am above average in playing Dota 2 and quite good with other videogames as well. I have excellent hand-eye coordination and efficient decision making without the expense of the details and variances. I am athletic and physically gifted. I can drive a car/van. •

But even with all of these things in my arsenal, the fact of matter is, it doesn't count. No one has the time to turn every stone; no one has the time to examine candidates beyond their CV. Employers couldn't care less about a candiate's personality, as long as they have the history to prove their skill and capability. On the off chance thay they do, even if I have the personality and capacity to be a model employee, its just not reasonable to invest resources on a Philosophy graduate whose first months of employment will be spent learning the job/industry from scratch.
I don't know what to do. This is my second visa renewal and I have only been shortlisted thrice. Two of which didn't offer a salary. Do I still have a future in Dubai or should I march shamefully back home?
