Cheers I feel for you but like Levell says the degree doesn't give you much more than maybe a foot in the door. I have two Bachelor and a Masters that I am not using - I am self-employed now so it really makes no difference about the alphabet soup thing at the end of a name. Some employers take advantage of situtions and some really don't care for anything in the world other than their own bottom line. Retail has also changed because of giants like Walmart eliminating their competition. If you look at the Walmart that existed while Walton was alive and compare it to the Walmart of today the only thing you'll find to be the same is the name. Walmart at one time cared about their customers - they had enough help to take care of their customers - Walton had the motto that if there are more than two in a line we'll get more checkers - the you're always next in line theory - Walton died and these theories died with him - now, you're always next in line - right behind the thirteen people who are in front of you. I believe that the simple lack of competition that has resulted is the cause of much of what you are putting up with - jobs are hard to find - you have trouble saying I quit! I'll go somewhere else - the somewhere elses are much harder to find and unscrupulous employers take advantage of that fact.
