I like my career. My current job isn’t the most interesting one I have had, but it is pleasant and makes the day go by fast. If it wasn’t for those two things I would feel like I was in jail. I’ve had jobs I liked that didn’t pay that well, so I get where you are coming from. It sucks. You will have to think about which will make you more unhappy: not enough money or not enough meaning, fun. Does your current situation provide an opportunity for a decent retirement for you? You can always procrastinate dealing with this by getting the PMP Certification as it will help either choice. 🙂
