addicted2hotpink - There might be a recession but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Alot of people are using this recession as an excuse to complaine about this and that while they could change so much for themself by just trying better. Besides that, diplomas ain't worth that much.. working experiance counts for so much more.

I'm a little annoyed about the amount of "I have an awesome education but I'm working a shit job" FMLs. How many people actually expect to have an incredible job the minute they step out of college? Times are hard right now, the fact that you have any job is pretty great, and your education has nothing to do with it, frankly. You'll be fine eventually.

what #29 said. The person who really should have that job now has NO job, thanks to the shitty economic situation. Maybe this should be F our L, not just my.

Its called a corporate ladder. You have to work your way up it, you don't immediatly fly straight to the top. At least you have a job, stop complaining.

Maybe you shouldn't have wasted your money on an obviously ineffective private school (and/or taken four years to graduate) it doesnt matter how much you spend it is where you go and how you use it, don't just blow it off as FML, you helped get yourself where you are and you are lucky to make any money right now, so I say f your decision making skills, not your life.

Ugh. Me too, OP, me too. I'm so sick of getting treated like a moron because I sit at the front desk. I'm smart, I have a good education, and I can probably do my colleagues' jobs better than they can. And those of you who are telling you YDI because of inane reasons that probably aren't true (poor decision making skills, philosophy major, ETC), F THEM. We're lucky to have jobs in this economy, even if they are crappy ones that do not utilize our brains. Sometimes, this is just how life turns out, and just remember - this is for now, not forever. Someday you'll get out of this secretarial crap work! (At least, this is what I've been telling myself.) Good luck.

It's called "paying your dues," youngster. Every single one of us has to do it. Please don't expect the world to hand you everything you want just because you have an education. You have to WORK for it.

welcome to the real world.

Lol @ 41, took the words right out of my mouth.

why are you complaining you have an easy job?
