Original Post : I Regret Leaving College: How My Dream Job Turned into a Nightmare of Humiliation and Mistreatment!

The author reflects on their regret about leaving their studies for an apprenticeship, where they have faced mistreatment and disrespect from colleagues. Despite the situation calming somewhat, recent incidents have reignited their frustration. They overheard derogatory comments and suspect deliberate actions to exclude them from certain areas. They feel undervalued and mistreated, comparing their current experience to being treated like an object, and express a preference for the financial struggles of student life over their current degrading apprenticeship.
