A rather long winded work rant
Sep. 19th, 2008 02:57 amFirst off, let me warn right now, this will be rather long winded, but I'll kindly put it behind a cut for those who don't want to read the massive wall of text.
( You have been warned, the f word likely will appear in the following cut )
And well, if anyone read that long rant, thanks for doing so though it was more so I could rant to something/someone besides my co-workers who are just as irate as I am. But if you didn't, the summary basically is, work is giving me a ton of stress and I need to find a new job so I can quit this one.
Anyone got ideas of what I should consider for a new field of work? I have a useless bachelor's degree in psychology and years of experience in customer service both in retail and call center work. I have plenty of experience with computers, just not the right certifications to get something in the field (or the right experience).
However, I live in basically the equivalent of hell where most of the jobs will be in the medical field, retail, customer service, office work, or manual labor that may or may not require certain types of experience, but pays very well. A lot of jobs also require being bilingual in Spanish, which I am not. There is one call center here I haven't worked at yet that was recommended to me and I may go apply on Monday (it deals with insurance, just not sure if it would be sales or not). I've also had a recommendation to try for a government job or stuff like office work on the oilfields, or a dispatcher. Any other ideas?
