I've been at a retail job I hate for a year now. I have a degree in information systems, but zero experience. I had two interviews for awesome jobs that didn't pull through, then my current retail job offered me full time.

My life is a mess. I'm always tired. My retail job has me feeling completely trapped. It makes me feel powerless. Like I have zero power to control my life. I'm desperate. I gotta get out. But how? What if my job isn't the problem? What if I'm the problem?

I'm overwhelmed, and don't know where to turn. I desperately need advice, even if it's obvious advice.

I want to make my life better. I want to put in the effort to make the change. But I'm starting to feel like I've tricked myself into believing things can be made better.
