It would sound great but my job is quite boring, has little to challenge me, and offers little,if any, chance for advancement. So do I risk my family time which I value incredibly and find a new job or just tough it out where I am? That's my big "what now?" question.
Listen to Donnidarko, you do have a great thing going on. If you're looking for a challenge and some excitement, get out in your community and help out. I'll tell ya, working w/ kids is a hell of a lot of work but it's definelty a lot more fun than my job and I have a good time all in all. And, no there's no $$ involved but the time flies. My husband is on the fire dept. and announces for school games (football, track, etc) and he really digs it. That's his challenge and he's felt the same way you did about his job.
