That is, people working jobs they are too qualified for.

I have been working as a cleaner (tech related company) to pay the bills while I get my masters (Engineering). I was hoping this could serve as a way to transition to a job after graduating. The job was pretty normal, but I worked hard at it. I did everything, worked hard, was pleasant.

The thing is, when I spoke to someone about the possibility of an intership or a job after graduating, things got kind of weird. people getting huffy and demanding about everything- nitpicking and treating me like their private maid. Its like they think that once I've done this job I don't deserve to be an equal to them.

It just hurts to know that after working my ass off this job is preventing me from getting a job in the future more than it helps. I feel embarassed and defeated having to go in every day.

I feel jealous of the people in my masters program who don't have to do this and who can relax while I am stuck here doing a job that gets me further from my career goals. I have to come into exams tired from having spent the morning cleaning toilets. I am worried that when people ok at my resume they will just imagine me cleaning toilets.
