In the end, this is true for any job. Learn to stop caring that you know better than your boss, and just give the minimum expected and ordered effort. It'll save you SO much stress in the long term. Even if you do manage to improve things, you won't get paid extra for it, so screw 'em. Just do it the bosses way and then shrug when it goes tits-up. Also, always make sure your resume is up to date and prepare to jump ship at the first opportunity for a better paycheck.

The most important career you can learn is that to your employer, you are neither friend nor family; you are an expendable resource, so treat them the same way.
