Second, while specifics about the questioner’s situation are not given, it is possible that her expectations of an employer are not realistic. To be blunt, when you are a new, inexperienced employee, you have a lot of dues to pay. Moreover, it is not your employers job to validate you, bring you happiness, help you find fulfillment, or necessarily to accommodate your life goals. When you find a good career fit with an employer, and have some seasoning, most of those will happen. However, finding that fit is the responsibility of the employee (although, wise firms understand their culture and seek to find employees that do fit it). The firm is paying you to do a job, and bring value to their customers. That is really all any employee is owed.
