Hello everyone, I have been following this community for a while and have no idea if this is the right place to post or not. I am not happy at my current job for a number of reasons. I must add I am a recent graduate, female and live in Latin America. My degree is in economics. I have been seriously looking for a job for the past three months. Job number 1 is at an airline .

We fight hard for time away and even harder to be here. … We have the abundance to rejoice and welcome any tech that could free us from this charade. But instead, our worst impulses keep us in this hilarious push and pull, clinging desperately to a marriage that no one wants.
