HELP

I am in desperate need of a new job. My current job at Sam's Club is really starting to push me over the edge...literally. It feels like things just keep getting worse and worse...I get stressed out, my supervisors lie to me straight in my face and there is no way that I can prove it to anyone above them, it seems like I've come home crying 2-3 times a week...the list could go on and on. I know when I took this job I wasnt' planning on it being my career...but since I've been looking and looking for a new job (monster, careerbuilder, quickhire on wpafb, etc. etc.) I keep getting more and more scared that I'm going to end up there much longer than I wanted...and that makes me want to just walk out more and more.

What's even more frustrating is that I feel as though I've wasted 4 years of a college education. Honestly...I haven't even started paying it off yet but I havent even begun to use it essentially. Its almost as if I would have been much better off just starting out with an associates degree, so I could get a real career focused job and then work on my Bachelors later. I got that one all wrong. Instead, No matter what position I apply for with any company I am only ever considered for Sales positions. I feel like I totally "locked myself in" when all my employement experience through school was retail for the most part since thats who offered flexible schedules. No one wants me for my education and that really stinks.

The other day I got so mad at work I came home and immediately started calling random businesses in the Christian Blue Pages. I thought surely someone in there is hiring. Turns out, the blue pages are hiring for a position right now which I have an interview for on Friday. I also got a call back from another company who is hiring and asked me to send them my resume.

Needless to say, I'm desperate for an actual career...not a job...a career. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to take the Club...as much as I need the income...I need my sanity and peace of mind knowing that I'm working for a company and employeers I can trust and respect.

Please, please help me. If you have any idea of a place that could use someone with a degree in Organizational Leadership and a minor in communications...let me know. I've been looking and looking and no one is responding. I just need something other than sales...I don't want to spend the rest of my life trying to sell something to people that I can't even assure them of being able to use.

Hey girl! I'm sorry this job has got you so down. Unfortunately, I think a lot of new college graduates go through the same thing you do. You have this degree and want to use it right away, but sometimes it's easier said than done. I wish I could help you. Maybe if you can atleast find a different job (not necessarily with your major) until you can get your career started...?

Good luck!
