  Spill it!  We all get frustrated and while reading your post I felt like it was something I could have said myself.  Misery loves company, just remember that there are people desperately searching for a job and even though you hate yours, at least there are paychecks coming in. If you find a cure for the yucky-job problem be sure to share it with me!

  Ugh I totally know how you feel. I have been at my job a year and half. I wouldnt say I hate it, but I would def like to be somewhere else where I make more! I have tons of student loans and its hard to make a decision to leave somewhere when you dont have a back up plan. I hope something will fall into my lap at some point...as for now. Im content. Im going to just stay where I am for the stability. Sorry...

  Yep, you're definitely not alone. I feel like I got tricked into this job with promises of what it was and could be, and it has turned out to be nothing like what they promised. And I get shut down every time I try to make it the job they said it was. I'm lucky to have a paycheck though, so I'm just waiting it out until I can get a new job.

  I agree, I feel like I could have written your post myself. I started my job 2 and a half years ago, thinking it would be a good stepping-stone job in a new city, and here I am, absolutely miserable, all of these many moons later. I search for other jobs in my field but all to no avail. My salary is pitiful and there is no possibility of an increase on the horizon. I'm not using the degree I went to school for and I feel like I am losing brain cells every day. But I have student loans to pay off, and I can't see a way out. And I know I should be grateful for something, with so many people out of work. But that doesn't make me love my job any more! So I can relate! But I try to keep some hope and keep applying elsewhere...something will turn up for you and for me, I can just feel it!

  I feel like I could have written this myself. I've only been at my job for about 5 months and I've been trying to get out of it for the past two months. It's looking like it'll happen soon but I am so sick of it here, I can barely stand it. This job is definitely not what they said it would be and if anything things have gotten worse over time, not better. Hope you're able to find something new!

  I know I'm a little late in the game, I just joined!  But, I'm with you too, this is definately something I could have written.  I took my current job 4.5 years ago as a way to make enough money to move out of my parent's house and I've been stuck every since.  When people ask me if I like my job I reply "it's a job."  I did FINALLY decide to go back to school and get my BS, which I just finished up in December.  However I too HATE my job!!  I'm looking constantly and hope that now that I am done with school I will be able to get the heck out of dodge:-)  Here's to happiness in the workforce for all of us in the new year:-)

  Just figure out something that you love to do. then find a job pursuing that one thing. it could take some time but if your diligent you'll find something that you love doing.
