Thailand Vacations Source to Holiday Vacations in Thailand

Anyone else who’s qualified and is having to do a crappy job for a living?

I'm a young woman who's got a Masters degree, plenty of experience and transferable skills, and am presently doing temp work as a security person. The agency that got me this had the nerve to tell me that it was a receptionist vacancy, and once I got to the spot it actually was security work!!! :O

And you know what the worst thing is, the sickest thing of them all?? The fact that something tells me that I could be considering myself lucky enough that I'm not actually serving coffees in Starbucks!!!

Those bankers... they screw up, and then I'm the one who has got to indeterminably put my MA on the shelf!! Financial Crisis my royal bottom.. they're all still eating M&S and vacationing in Thailand, while I'm sorting out their freaking mail. It's amazing how the big guy screws up and it's always the little one who's got to pay for it!!

Anyway, feel free to holla if you're having to paddle the same boat..
@Lordpercywooster XXV : Waw that was harsh. Seems like someone is having a worst day than mine, and is feeling a little wee more frustrated about their lives than I am! Well, as they say... there's always someone who is in a worst situation. Chill dude..
@ Tinababy: oh don't bother about the frustrated specimen who first replied to this, he's obviously a lot more unhappy about his own situation, whatever it actually is, than we are about ours, obviously... and believe me on that!! I can recognize them! lol As for what you've just explained, I so know what you mean.. kinship is a bitch, and it's one of the two headed monsters that comes out whenever there's a finantial crisis.. only the sons and daughters and nieces get jobs when that's the case, and unfortunitilly all I can count on are my qualifications, skills and experience.. don't exackly know anyone who can just hand it out to me merelly out of acquaintence, like some do lol
@Tinababy: On the other hand, I can also relate with that internship matter of yours. I did my masters degree in a country in which my work experience is worth nothing, because I got it in my native country. And ever since I finished this masters I have been working in things like finance, recruitment and so on.. things which don't have anything to do with my area, just so that I could pay the bills.. therefore not having any time to pale around doing career related unpaid internships either. and as a result it's been really tough for me as well to get a job in my area in the country where I'm presently living.. Which will only leave me with one option, which is to apply for a PhD and a scholarship.. people like us are pushed into going academic!! Good news is I personally love it, and can't wait to go back to doing post grad research, it's my think!! But if it weren’t for that I know that I would eventually reach an even worst dead end than the one in which I am now.
@Tinababy: So all of this to say Tina, that at the end of the day, we really are padling the same boat!
And being that we are all we can actually count on, keep it strong, proactive and above all persistant! Things arent just given, presented, to people like us, but once we get them I'm sure that it tastes a lot better than it would otherwise. Try and see whether you can squeeze some voluntary work in between shifts at the restaurant, for instance.. or go academic like I'm going to. It means working hard, working harder than the ones to whom things are given, but it also means that when you get it will mean more and feel better!
