I'm basically the complaints department for some locally owned hotels. I have to smile while listening to people complain about trivial things. Bend over backwards to make people happy that don't necessarily deserve it. To say I enjoy my job would be a lie. It is only temporary though until I can get in school and get that finished.
I would focus more on real world experience and less on education, unless you get grants to go back to school OR you have a guarantee its going to further your career. DO NOT GO INTO DEBT. My degrees mean nothing, other than giving me the fact I can say I'm "educated".
I want to be an occupational therapist but that would require six years of school and at my age I don't know if that is reasonable anymore. Not to mention the debt it would put me in like you said. I'm thinking certificates might be the way to go. Unfortunately where I live there isn't great opportunities for jobs everything is tourist based. So unless you have the right last name, you know the right people, or your family already owns something you aren't getting anywhere.
Try looking online, they offer very credible programs for a variety of different occupations and certifications. And the last part of your post is dead on. That's not just the culture by you, it's basically everywhere. Competence and ambitious nature do not take precedence over ass kissing, or outright direct family relations. It should, but for some reason I can't figure out, it doesn't.
Are you happy at work,do you enjoy your job?
