The most I can say is to just stick with it for at least another six months. Get your year's worth of experience and just take it one day at a time. You can do it.   |

Well as you said at least it is a job, try to stick it out until something better comes along Danielle. I know how frustrating it can be and especially knowing you are more qualified and not getting the recognition....it happens whatever field you work in hun...just grin and bear it till it suits you to leave...  |

Son Sweet Sofia & Zema sis are telling you right Honey----stay with it for your experience and benefits, in the meantime perhaps you could help you're coworkers by setting your own example of prompt attention to clients, boosting others morale by positive feedback...encouragement---and also helping your coworker who was recently promoted as a vet tech although she may have the experience but not the degree, perhaps You and the coworker can help each other----you helping with medical terminology while she assists you with training and the experience you are acquiring....jobs are so difficult to find right now during this economic crisis----every one has dislikes about their jobs every now and then...and even though your job isn't as you would like it to be---I would work there and do your very best to make the most of the situation.., and who knows you might find you like it a little better later on---I'm sure you will find something you do enjoy if you still find you don't like your current job after your efforts to help improve the work environment......~Best Wishes to you darlin....T/C  |

I also have a job that I am miserable at. I am working toward my nursing degree and the only thing that is good about this job is that they understand that school comes first and are flexible with my school schedule..so I have to stay. I won't go into what all I hate about my job..but lets just say that I take on just about everyone's responsibilities and pick up all the slack..whilst doing my own job. I just grit my teeth and bare it. I know that once I get my degree, I won't have to work there anymore. What I would do is wait 6 more months and then start looking for other employment.  |

I know how you feel in a way. I worked in a special education school with children between the ages of 5-10. I worked mostly with children from 5-7 years old with autism. I was a 1:1 for a boy who was very sick and he was in an out of the hospital so when he wasn't there I would work as a para educator (assistant teacher) and I could not stand the people I worked with at all. The teacher was never in the room and the other people I worked with as para educators were more concerned with painting their nails or sitting there talking. I worked very hard in that classroom and I had 7 children. They did a lot of things and said a lot of things I don't even want to mention because it will aggravate me but here is an example: I was told not to try so hard with them because its not like they were going to Harvard... that was said to me. Also, the teacher didn't even know one of her students she had for 2 years could read. I finished the school year and worked part of the summer and quit and went back to school for education so I can be a teacher. Sorry to ramble but I just wanted to share and relate. Hang in there and know that soon you will have a job you love. A vet tech is a passionate job and working with animals must be great. Just hang in there and get your experience and plan to get out soon and find something that suits you better and shows your potential and is rewarding for all your hard work being at school.   |

six more months and start looking for another job. and when patients complain about the wait make sure you direct them to the person that can actually do something about it. at my vet we never have more than a few minutes wait in the waiting room or in the exam room. and if there's an emergency our dr. has one of the girls in the office tell us so we can reschedule if we want to. i know a dog getting hit by a car and needing surgery is more important than my dog needing her shots and i understand that things happen but it's nice when they let us know why we are waiting and give the option of waiting or making another appt. good luck.  |

Apply to the other jobs even if they ask for a year's worth of experience. Employers sometimes advertise for a wishlist of qualifications that they don't actually expect to get- you may be able to negotiate with them, especially if you can find other things to make yourself stand out on your resume. Other than that, if you see things going on around you that are not going the way you think they should, you might try to use some of your influence to change them. I don't mean just complaining to your boss about them, but spotting the source of the problems and suggesting solutions. For instance- "I notice x in x manner, and I think if we did it in y manner, it would really speed things up." This would also make you look good for prospective employers.  |
