@@ I am echoing what others have said. I wanted to quit my last retail job so much because the company/management was so bad. But I hung in there until I finished my Master's and got a job in a different field--hello accounting! If I would have left when I would have wanted to it would have been a mess for me. Just try to hang in there until you have something else lined up. I am so appalled at everything you have gone through. I thought universities were supposed to be enlightened. You certainly deserve better. Just don't act on impulse and then end up creating pressure for your finances. Hug if wanted, kit
