I just read your post from last night and this one. *hugs* Unfortunately, I don't have an awful lot of advice for you. I will say, though, that for years I let the fact that I have a college degree and work in retail absolutely eat me alive. I resented it. I was much better than this, much more intelligent than to be relegated to the mundane tasks I was asked to do.

It led me to struggle with a number of other Big Issues, such as faith, my future, and so on.

I was a big knot of unhappiness for quite some time, and then seemingly overnight I made my peace with it all.

Am I doing what I want to be doing? No. Do I know what I *want* to do? Absolutely not. I never may know. But I'm doing what I'm doing for a reason, even though I don't know what it may be.

Yes, I work retail. Yes, some customers treat me like shit. But in all, the good outweighs the bad. When a customer comes in to give me a hug, another calls me 'angel,' and I cry with another because she wants to have her ring sized that her mother who just died of cancer used to wear.. it's all right. For me, at least, it was a matter of making peace and seeing all of the good that can come from a less-than-ideal situation.

I know none of that is likely to make a difference in your situation, and mine isn't quite the same as yours, but maybe sharing that will help in some small way. *hugs* I wish I had some better advice for you.
