I went to night school for a Masters in Information Science. It was 95% paid for by my company. I still kind of regret it. The people eho just worked extra hours got promoted much faster than the people who got a degree. It has never helped me. It was a waste of time and a waste of a few thousand dollars. Probably 75% of it was stuff I learned in undergrad or on the job anyways. I'm so disillusioned and feel like the world is so corrupt.

I recently applied for a demotion in my company and got turned down because I didn't match "the profile". The manager then told me the profile for the job, which was basically python, SQL, and Tablaeu. They then told me that other candidates had "real world experience like internships" (this is an entry level data analyst role). I told her examples of my on the job for each one of those, including my certification as a Tableau Data Analyst and building Tablaeu dashboards. I guess "the profile" also includes being young. I might have a disability, but I'm not stupid. I can see what's really going on. Fuck that shit.
