Stuck at 33: Desk Job Misery & No Degree—What Now?! 😩

I'm 33 and honestly feeling lost. For years, I've been stuck in technical support and customer service jobs, mostly answering calls about cash registers. I never finished college because I just couldn't pass a required Spanish class, no matter how hard I tried. Now, I work 40 hours a week at an IT call center, and every day feels like I'm just another number. I can't see myself doing this forever. The idea of going back to school while working full-time feels impossible, and I'm not sure what other options I have. Physical labor isn't really for me, but I also hate being chained to a desk all day. My motivation is at rock bottom, and I feel invisible at work. Has anyone else been in this spot? What did you do to get out? I could really use some advice or encouragement right now. 🙏 #CareerAdvice #JobFrustration #WorkplaceStruggles #JobCareer #Career

Am I wrong for wanting to quit my new job?

I started a new job at a law firm just 2 months ago, and at first, everything seemed great. I thought I could see myself staying for a while. But then things took a turn. My boss decided to start using Teams to monitor our status. At first, I didn’t want her to see when I was “offline,” so I set my status to unavailable. Big mistake. Less than 5 minutes later, I was flooded with texts and phone calls asking why I wasn’t “online.” 😤 Now, we’re required to have Teams open at all times and show as “available” — even when working from home. It honestly feels like micromanagement. On top of that, my boss lives in another state, never comes to the office, but expects us to be there. And when an attorney is gone for a week, she refuses to let us work from home. All of this combined has made me reconsider if I want to stay. I’ve already started applying to new jobs. Am I overreacting, or do you think I have valid reasons to be unhappy? Would love to hear your thoughts! 💬👇 #JobFrustration #WorkFromHome #Micromanagement #CareerDecisions #JobSearch #JobCareer
