Well at least you work in a nice cozy enviroment. I work as a intern for the past 2 years full/part time ( and interned for 2 summers before that)and have watched over 700 people lose their jobs at my company. I worked their at the high time when money was thrown around like cash to now see people who are very productive and needed getting fired just so we can make stockbrokers see a profit. Not only that but it seems i won't be even getting a job here because they are not hiring anymore. I really don't mind it that much cause i could always be a person that got fired after 10 loyal years there and have to start all over again finding a job while trying to take care of a family.

This is just how things go, nothing is secure anymore in the work place. I am sure that degree would help but there is always people unqualified but have so many degrees and certs they some how get a job they are incompetent for and yet become your boss. I think thats how things go these days. If you like it stay but be prepared to maybe to not get promoted at all and be stuck their for the rest of your life. Or take hold of your life and go find another one. I have asked myself the same questions to how will i find a job i like. Welp the answer is you can't. Look for something that suits you and try it out. If it doesn't work out go elsewhere but don't stay unhappy forever. The nature of the bussiness these days is not to stay at any one job anyway.
