My mom was in need of a job 20 some years ago and her friend said "Hey, there's an opening at the bank, you should apply there" ...knowing nothing of banking and having only worked (managed) fast-food places (as 20somethings do) she went to the interview and got the job. She worked her way up through various jobs and was such a good employee that every time one of those "budget crunches" came up...they would move her to a different office with a different job. As such she became trained in nearly every area of banking and during her final office move, she was told she would be training for management. Thing is, they didn't choose her, instead they had her perform all manager duties (without manager pay) for several months after the previous manager quit...telling her that she would be officially titled after ___ or as soon as ___ happened. Instead they brought in an untrained employee from elsewhere.

After 20some years in banking my mom was suffering depression and would cry almost every day on her way to work (it started slowly, like your once a week). Finally, she decided that it wasn't worth it. The catfights and petty arguments all the way up through management, and feeling as though she was lesser than dirt...Not worth her time and energy. A friend said..."Hey there's an opening at the prison, you should apply there!"

She was hired, and she's ever-so-much happier now. Take the leap.
