I hate my job. I HATE MY JOB!?

I HATE MY JOB! hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate it. I have waaaay too much education for what I do, and any time I try to use said education to up the quality of what goes on around me, I get stomped on by the powers that be (but only indirectly because they are supposed to be supportive of creativity and initiative), and abused by the people that are only indirectly affected, but in a powerful position. I work in a field that is designed for mindless, rule-following, conformist sheep, and because I don’t fall into that category, my work life is HELL ON EARTH. And the worst part?? Everyone I know, both in the same field and otherwise, always say the same thing “I can’t imagine why you have such a hard time! You have so much to offer. Anyone should be thrilled to have a creative, hard-working, interesting and passionate individual working for them.” Oh yeah? Well, why the **** can’t I find something else to do with all this supposed brilliance?
