Umm...report to the boss about the drunk workers? You can't just have workers paid for being drunk.

Your parent can't tell you what to you, is your life, your choice.

The sooner you get this truth the better for you. You sound smart enough to know what is best choice. Don't let your parents guide you and make decisions for you, with time, it will only be harder to get them off your back and be independent.

1. Decide what type of work you want to do & can do.

2. Set yourself a definite goal e.g. I will find a job in such-and-such-a field by 3-months? 6-months? ???

3. Start applying for other jobs.

4. Try some further study (in the evenings) if it will help you along your preferred career path.

5. Hold onto your current job until you get a better one.

6. Do the best job you can under the circumstances. You're probably a lifeline to the elderly residents at the home. Do you have time to get to know them a bit better?

7. Try to avoid being bitter with either your parents or your co-workers.

Hello,

I have a higher education than my supervisers...


"Supervisors."

Regardless of how high your education is, it obviously didn't include basic grammar.

I looked at your profile. You're 17. Are you honestly telling us that your supervisors only made it to 8th grade?

I sense a lot of hyperbole and to be blunt, arrogance in your post and demeanor. This may be why you're not liking your job. Thinking so little of those around you is bound to:

A) Be noticed by them, no matter how much you try to hide it. They in turn will respond to that, and chances are good it's not going to be with a pleasant smile.

B) Make you miserable even if you could hide it (which you can't).

Truthfully, I think the problem is how you perceive yourself and those around you.

Whether you work in a kitchen or you work in a mansion, attitude is everything in your day.

You have a bad attitude, so you're going to have bad days.

Simple. You just got to rise above it.  It's a job, anytime it's pissing you off just think about having no job.  Set goals for things you want to buy or do and just aim at that.  Don't let other people get in your way. 

I assume you don't want to be a waiter forever but if your good at it at least its something you can always fall back on.

Part-time jobs suck, so suck it up.

And education for a lot of things is unessasary, your managers have a lot more experience than you, and thats what really matters. Knowing trigonometry isn't realitcally going to help you manage the home. Working there for several years will.
