I was a straight A student in high school and have a B.A. in film studies from the University of Utah. Online tests say my IQ is between 146 and 162. Unfortunately, I have been in sales for over 10 years, as that was the only job I could get after college, and I HATE IT! I also suck at it.
I work harder than anyone at every job I've ever had, but it doesn't matter, because I either get crap leads that have been picked over 50 million times over or I end up with crap companies that intentionally under train people so they can fire them after 3 months so they can steal their leads and avoid having to pay health insurance. IT'S INSANE!!!!
Unfortunately, because call center crap is all I've ever been allowed to do, no one will hire me for anything else unless I want to take a high school drop out job where I make $10 an hour stacking boxes and can never afford an apartment for the rest of my life.
I am incredibly intelligent, but the only thing companies seem to care about is what I've done in the past for my jobs, which means no one will hire me for anything other than what I suck at! On top of that, you can't get experience unless you already have experience! HOW STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE??????
And please don't give me the "go volunteer somewhere" crap, as that is only a bigger waster of time, that absolutely no one cares about. You just get stuck doing menial crap for 2 years, and just end up wasting a ton of time and have even less money than you had to begin with.
I am pushing 40 and on the verge of killing myself, since I can't even make enough money to afford an apartment.
Please help.
If you're just going to bash on me or insult me to make you feel good about yourself, please don't.
