[quote=Anonymous]I find it's often good to take the long view. It's sounds hokey, but things often have a way of working out. I was in a horrible job, truly abusive. I did finally get out, but if I HADN'T had that job, there are some skills I wouldn't have been able to put on my resume, and it also helped me gain an understand on what kinds of things I did want out of a work environment. School of hard knocks, but I'm glad I had that job, despite the hell it put me through.
My husband had been dissatisfied with is job for the last 5 years. He applied and made it to final round of interviews twice. Didn't get the jobs. Was REALLY disappointed and depressed. However, if he had taken those jobs, there are some opportunities at the original job he wouldn't have had, new mentors he wouldn't have met, and ultimately when job opportunity #3 came around, it was a much, much better fit, and a better job situation overall. It took a while, but things worked out.
Just two examples, but I'm sure there are others. It will turn out okay for you, too, OP![/quote]
