Describes me perfectly. Is anyone in this situation- where you're in a rut- you don't like the job your in and you're not learning anything, but there really isn't any other options. There are no other upward positions in the company, only lateral. Is it better than being unemployed? I know it's like - well go back to grad school - but then school isn't cheap- and I don't have the funds for that. There's no guarantees after you get out either you'll have something lined up. Then I'll be further in debt. I'm on the so-called hamster wheel, exerting energy, but not getting anywhere.
