I also enjoy this, but not for my current employer (for several reasons I don't feel like going into).

How do you do it, as a consultant or as a 9-5 job? Any advice on getting started as someone who graduated 2014?

By the way, today I had a meeting with an IT coordinator in a sister-company. He knows everything about SAP. However, he had no clue as to what "Python" is.

I work with dinosaurs apparently.

I do know programming, and I enjoy it very much.

But I work in a financial department where it's an alien concept, and as such, unauditable and dangerous. I barely get opportunities to put it in action these days.

Hi, throwaway with a "fake" job (with quotations because usually 25% of the time I am busy).

It is incredibly frustrating to me, because I consider myself a creative and capable individual, who is just fresh off graduation. However, I have a micromanaging, closed-minded rude boss (company lingo: "Leader"), who I prefer to avoid at all costs. At the same time, he seems completely aloof and uninterested in my career goals, which explains why I have nothing to do most of the time.

This is further led to absurdity because I'm in a Trainee position, someone who is paid a better than everyone else at their level of responsibility and gone through extra training with hopes they will ascend to management. I get no training either.

I've been looking for another job for over a year and cannot get anything else because of lack of experience and a nation-wide political+economical crisis.
