Ha! You are so naive. Kids in the US and Europe might not "dream" of it, but most others in this world would love to live your lousy life.

I have traveled all over this globe, and have seen first hand over and over again how MOST people in this world live. The vast majority of humans on this planet live in poverty. They are born poor, have almost no education, toil their lives away six to seven days a week for almost their entire lives, and struggle to simply maintain their meager lives until the day they die. They have almost ZERO opportunity to make anything out of their lives, and yet it is what is to them. It's their life. They know nothing else.

The lives those of us fortunate enough to have been born in a first world country enjoy are almost beyond comprehension to most people on this planet.

So, I stand by what I say. Most people can only dream of the life you can have if you stick this out. In fact, most people in THIS country (the majority are NOT college educated and work long hours at jobs they almost certainly loath, yet have no choice, because it keeps them from living in abstract poverty under a bridge somewhere) would LOVE to have the job you have, and would love to look forward to where your job is headed.

But you don't, and your youthful naivete betrays the fact that you have no idea that most people in this world would LOVE to be in you shoes.

Yes, to the average First World, educated young person, the regional industry has NOTHING to offer, when one considers the price of entry and the short term return on investment. Long term, this job (and it IS a job, something almost everyone on this planet needs to survive) has a lot to offer going forward, especially for someone your age - as long as that person is willing to hang up his or her absolutely unrealistic expectations.

We get it. You are unhappy with the turn your life has taken. Do yourself a favor then, and find something else. Get OUT of this business.

I suspect, however, that you will continue to be an unhappy man for the rest of your life however. I don't think you will ever find that Nirvana you are looking for.
