Help! My potential is dying!

The old adage states that to teach is to learn twice. However, whomever coined the phrase probably didn't work in a position like mine. Before I went to training college, I had quite a few skills that I'd taught myself. I could use a variety of graphics programs from Micrographix to Photoshop, all of which I'd taught myself, I wrote stories online that made me proud and gave me a feeling of accomplishment and not just because they got great reviews, I could carry a tune, I could learn anything I put my mind to, I had limitless potential.

And then, two contracted years of pointless, thankless, nerve-racking, senseless "study" for a job that I hated anyway.
