ETA Yeah, I'm not sure what's more annoying, the intense feeling of having wasted my personal potential or the knowledge that I have slotted myself into places in society that I didn't want to be.
I tried to deal with this by doing admin work in "meaningful" places (a school and a hospital) but all I learned was how many people would assume I'm mindless because of the job I do.
I want to convince people that pink collar work isn't stupid, but I don't know how.
