<prompt> Human: Apologies if this isnt the correct place to post this, please redirect me if necessary! So Im stuck in a dead end job in an off licence liquor store and I feel as if ill never get out. I feel underappreciated here, the management is poor, I have little motivation to come into work and everyday feels like a Monday. I recently got a pay rise but it was 0.73 and after being here for nearly four years it felt like more of a kick in the teeth than a reward. I have a degree in civil engineering and despite having interviews I havent been successful. I didnt get the best grades and every interview I go into I feel like I have to lie to get the job and I hate bluffing because I know Ill be caught out. At the moment I am not even motivated to apply for jobs. Whenever I try to vent to my parents they just tell me to apply for jobs but they dont understand how shit I feel everyday when I come home from work. Im just not motivated to do anything when I come home except watch TV and go to bed. I work 12-10pm 5 days a week and it just sucks the life out of me leaving me unmotivated to do anything about my situation. I really want to just quit but need the money. Plus I dont want to burn bridges as my boss is really my only decent reference as Im only 22.EDIT: Thanks for the replies. Being able to vent, even if its to strangers online, is very helpful. Makes a change from the pressure everybody around me is putting me under to find a real job.  <response>: working the 2nd shift, its easy to fall into the trap of staying up late and sleeping in, eating shit foods and just feeling worthless. Whole weeks and months can go by and you dont even realize it. While you continue to look for other work, start setting small dailyweekly goals for yourself. They might seem stupid and mundane, but trust me, even accomplishing little things make you feel better about yourself.Some examples are getting up fairly early, like 8-9am. Get some exercise, even if its just walking around your neighborhood. Read a book, any book, pick something that interests you. Cook a meal that you can bring to work so you are eating something somewhat healthy or so you have something to eat after work when you dont feel like cooking. Look into workshops that can help you with your resumeinterviewing. The key is you need to continue to try to find a job that interests you or geared toward your degree. Its easy to get trapped at a job out of school and then your relevant work experience doesnt line up with your education. See if the places you have already interviewed for have jobs slightly below engineer level, like analysts and whatnot that you can apply for.
