I am truly lost. I don’t know where I belong

Hi everyone sorry this is more of a rant than anything. Just a bit of background; I am 22 years old and in my third year of marketing at university. I’ve worked in hospitality since I was eighteen, but I was truly depressed. I got treated like shit by customers, and was overall exhausted for shit money. This year I started a new job as a junior marketing officer at a family owned company which I was truly over the moon about as I could finally leave hospitality. Anyways now it seems things are falling apart. I hate capitalism, I hate working ever since I was a child too but I hoped that I might eventually feel satisfied if I had a change of scene. Anyways, The ceo of this company is a millionaire and has everything, last week he came in and basically fired the whole sales team just…


Hi everyone sorry this is more of a rant than anything. Just a bit of background; I am 22 years old and in my third year of marketing at university. I’ve worked in hospitality since I was eighteen, but I was truly depressed. I got treated like shit by customers, and was overall exhausted for shit money. This year I started a new job as a junior marketing officer at a family owned company which I was truly over the moon about as I could finally leave hospitality. Anyways now it seems things are falling apart. I hate capitalism, I hate working ever since I was a child too but I hoped that I might eventually feel satisfied if I had a change of scene. Anyways, The ceo of this company is a millionaire and has everything, last week he came in and basically fired the whole sales team just because he doesn’t like them, they were the most passionate people about their job but he didn’t give a single shit, so that was my first taste of the real world. so I not longer have a team to work with. And they’ve hired a bunch of juniors to fill the marketing department, I’m guessing because they can pay us peanuts, but we have no guidance. We are only students. The ceo is hands on, so I interact with him everyday, but he is prone to angry outbursts if things don’t go his way I have to walk on eggshells around him. Now I am scared, because my old bosses would kinda protect me from this, plus they were my mentors and were training me up. So now I’m starting to re consider everything in my life. I don’t even know if I want to work in marketing anymore, if I am going to be forced to work, I at least want to positively contribute and help people. Right now I just work so my ceo can live a rich lifestyle I’m fed up. I was thinking of doing counseling, but that requires anther three years at university, and I feel like it’s too late to start over. It looks like I’ll have to go back to hospitality 🙁 I’m getting to the point where I’d rather die than have to work for the rest of my life
