Careers & Employment - August 2006

When I look around, people who are highly successful all come from presitigous education background. They all hold professions like MD, stockbroker, engineer and have graduated from Ivy League University.
It depresses me as I am not so good at academics. I feel like I will never amount to successes that they have and will barely make ends meet. It is very depressing to even think about that.
Is the road to success narrow for people who are not book-smart? Thanks in advance for any insights.

They want to change contract and stop my night allowance which, I believe IS legal, however, they have had a number of employees who have changed from one to two nights, or two to three etc. and they have not had their night allowance stopped. I am the first, is this a good case for victimisation. (I live in England - just in case laws are different in other countries) Thanks for any help.

I'm the youngest in the office
I make the least amount of money.
I havent taken a lunch break in over three weeks, if I even eat at all
I'm doubtful theres a lot of room for advancement. I've been here two years with no promises for where I'll be in the future.
Everyones been here a long time so theres no need for any of them to retire, they get paid to do nothing.
People that do all the work aren't compensated like the ones that do nothing.
I'm in sales with quarterly bonus and have no idea what dictates what my bonus is.
Everyone is extremely sensitive to constructive criticism, but is readily available at all times to give it.
The only way to gain leverage in the company is to quit and come back? believe it or not.
My total profit from my sales in one month is enough to pay my salary for a year.
