Oh, and he's completely full of shit. I have long suspected that most people feel the same way that you do about their jobs. Good for you for going back to school! As long as you work for someone else there is always a certain amount of crap you will have to put up with, but there is also a chance you will get a better job with people who treat you with respect.
I have had some great jobs and some not so great jobs in my career, but I am at a place now where I am content and feel respected. Just don't give up and know that you deserve better. I wish you all the best!

No. The distribution of wealth & income is the problem, not the company size.

Like restaurant servers, everyone should do both for a while to appreciate how hard it is.
