I’m overeducated and can’t find a job.
- I’m an accountant in name only. It’s not in my heart.
- I feel that I am taking someone else’s oxygen and should just not try anymore.
- I was a teacher who was depressed from the pain of conforming to my boss’s unrealistic expectations of me.
- How can I increase my income as a minister?
- I’m over-educated but lacking in work experience.
- If someone dropped $10,000,000 in your lap tomorrow, would it change anything you do or how much you work?
