I do have a bachelor's degree and a master degree, but so does everyone else these days, which doesnt give me an edge. I have 5 years of experience under my belt, but 4 of them is the wrong kind because its very high tech and its too sophisticated for 99% of companies. And finally, I got one additional year in what you could say is general mid level IT management, but that doesnt qualify me for shit because “you've only been in that role for one year, that doesnt qualify you for shit sir”. So here I am, tired, abused and a little depressed. I have looked everywhere and nobody is hiring someone like me. I have dug myself a nice hole and now it seems I'll never get out of it. I know it, my employer knows it, and they are fucking going at me. They know Im stuck here regardless, so they throw all the bullshit at me, and what do I do, I take it like a good dog. Im tired, sad and pissed off. My employer told me to dig myself a hole, I did it, and the job market left with the fucking ladder while I was at the bottom.
