I left my job because I was bored but I didn't find a better job before I ran out of money so I had to accept what I could get.... and now I have a job that's even more boring than my previous one, and it pays less.

I'm so frustrated I couldn't get anything else and I really don't understand! I live in a foreign country and all the jobs I applied to required a native speaker of my language so that greatly reduces the competion. I keep hearing the right people are hard to find and I experienced that as well when my old company was looking for someone to replace me - only two people applied and I'm 99% sure one of them lied about being a native speaker. And I actually have the right degree and the experience.... Yet I didn't even get a single interview in my field.
