Hey guys I’m not sure if this is where to post, but I’ve been here for a long time and felt I could share with everyone since I have no one else to share with. If a mod wishes to delete this, please do I apologize for clogging up this sub.
I’m 26M, college graduate, and stuck working in a call center for the next foreseeable future. It’s an easy job, but it’s dreadfully boring. 95% of my job is me saying the same 5 sentences every minute of every hour. Sometimes I’m lucky and talk to a person, but most of the time I get yelled at or belittled for my position. There is no stimulation whatsoever and I’m just lost. The pay isn’t bad but it’s not something to look forward to nor is it worth the headaches I deal with daily because of stress and boredom.
I don’t know what to do. I want to leave this job but this was the only place that even bothered giving me an interview in months. I used to work in education(left education because of the current state of everything in the USA), qualified for loads of different jobs, but nothing ever goes my way. I have experience with a good chunk of programs every company uses, communication skills, and a plethora of other useful skills.
Why can’t I get something I find stimulating and interesting? Why can’t I have something that’s just as repetitive as breathing but painfully more boring? What can I do? I have bills to pay, I’m paying them, but I feel like I’m paying more out with my soul than my wallet.
I want a place to belong.
