Got a apprenticeship at a 'great' company which has high job security. However the job is nothing like the description, the work is very boring, and their have been many broken promises (offered degree then they changed mind last minute).
I am wondering what to do? I do not enjoy it at all but the security is there, I am trying to keep option open by finishing my qualification and learning as many skills as possible. What would you do in this situation, best to wait it out and then jump ship?
