    Talk to a labor and employment lawyer. There are laws in place to protect you and your colleagues from abuse by managers, and forbidding you to take lunch breaks may very well be illegal.

    I have a four-year degree in education. I taught for a couple of years, then married and moved to another part of the state, where I was never successful in finding a teaching position. Eventually I caught on that I would need to find something else to do if I wanted to earn a living–so I am now a secretary. I learned that not only do I love what I do now, but I’m much, much better at this than I was at teaching! The pursuit of an education is never a waste of time; I don’t regret for one minute earning that degree, and I am amused by people who think I’m ‘wasting’ it. On the contrary, I do apply many of the principles I learned in college to my current job, and to helping my children with their school work. Some people earn a degree simply for the love of learning, which is something to be admired and not scorned.
