I am getting bored and would like to make some future goals but I have only really been in this industry for approx. 12 months, I am loosing interest and not challenged anymore.  So can anyone suggest where to go from here.

i'm going to school right now for paralegal. you will be involved in cases, know the law, and be the attorney's right hand person. make sure you get an associates' degree rather than a certificate.....more job options for you. this career will give you plenty of opportunity for growth. good luck!!!

Why don't you try to do something outside of work to keep your passion alive?\n\nTry a hobby, a craft or explore something you have always wanted to such as painting, water skiing, sky diving, learning Russian, or whatever strikes your fancy.\n\nLife is short.  Explore it all.

Work. And as you work, and work hard, visualize for at least 10 minutes every day the END RESULT of what you want with as much feeling and detail, have faith it is a DONE deal...meaning not something that WILL happen, but something that has ALREADY happend, and try to have a feeling of expectancy about the issue of your desire. If you don't know what to work at or visualize, got to the alpha state (CDs you can listen to are available or you can dowload MP3 files to help you get to that state), and ask yourself what would the best profitable business idea for you to venture into be. keep at it for at least 10 days if you don't get immediate results, and most likely you will get your answer as a flash of insight or in a dream...but needless to say, you will get an answer as long as you have faith in the process.

Well, at that point, you're still an amateur. Once you work up to new levels and become more of a value to the industry, you'll get paid better. It all just depends on the business and the circumstances.

It was pretty hard for me at first, I was working 40+ hours at the time. I have changed my lifestyle drastically. Send me an email.

i used to have 9-5 jobs in the advertising/public relations industry, so even if it is a 9-5 job, everyday is so different (because of the nature of the business) that it didn't feel like it was 9-5.\n\nmaybe you can explore a new job in a different field or industry.  if you don' tlike monotony try the media, events planning, tv or theater or concert work, etc.\n\nor maybe you need a total change of careers, too.  salespeople get to go around a lot and are not tied to a desk.\n\nhowever, if you don't want to necessarily leave your job, what you can do is explore your city after work.  i usually try to enroll in a workshop or go to a lecture or watch a play or attend a museum exhibit whenever i can.\n\ncheck out your local newspaper or if your city has one of those free newspapers that lists the events in your community, grab one and scan it for events that interest you.\n\nyou could try learning how to ballroom dance, take improv lessons from a theater group, go to musuem or art exhibit openings (free cheese and wine, hehehe), take a new course at a local community college, etc etc.\n\nyou get to meet new people this way and they can inspire you or expose you to new things that might interest you.\n\ngood luck.

Take the next two years to enjoy your free time.  Seriously.  Don't work.  You'll definantly regret not using your free time later on when you have a 40 hours per week job.  Trust me, I'm 19 years old and I honestly wish I had better spent my pre-18 years doing the stuff I enjoy, because now I RARELY have time to do anything.  Don't let the same happen to you.

The work need to be done is posting a discussion and answering a discussion. the link is:\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/yhzzph

I've been using computers for over 28 years and have been working in the Silicon Valley for almost 20.\n\nChange is inevitable.  I would be absolutely bored out of my head if the industry had not changed significantly over this period of time.\n\nFrom my point of view, the progression and mastery is the ability to keep up with the changing pace.  It is the change itself that keeps my energy going.\n\nHowever, there do seem to be some areas of computing where there is very little change over time.  One of those is database programming.  I do not mean to denigrate the people in this profession, however, I have, from time to time, met people who become database programmers or database administrators and they do these jobs for 10+ years with little venturing outside this domain.  These people develop "expertise" in this area.   Some of these people are true experts.  Others are only so-called "experts".  Despite spending their 10 years or more working on databases, I could out design them when it came to DB architecture, table schemas, and high performance SQL queries.  Why?  Probably because my experience was broad and I could borrow models from many different disciplines in computer science, computer architecture, etc.\n\nOthers become C++ experts, or operating systems experts, or Java experts.  It is possible to specialize.  You can do it.\n\nHowever, if you really want to do one thing for a long time, consider that change is inevitable.  It may be best to learn to embrace change, rather than avoiding it.\n\nThe other is to consider a career outside the industry.  Banking perhaps.  It doesn't change much.

I'm on level 3 right now and will  get to 4 in a few days and it will take me a month if my interest still persists..otherwise in 3 months I should get there I hope and I will be thrown out of my current high paying job and will be answering questions as a social service ;-)

I would say that you should try to put your ideas through a major company and advance until you are at the level that you can go SOLO. Good luck

When I first discovered Yahoo Answers, I was addicted. I was on every night, and whenever I head some free time at work. My husband picked on me, and jokingly asked how many points I needed to get to the next level. He asked me one day last week, and my response was that I may never get to the next level, as there are fewer and fewer questions worth answering as time goes on. It takes so long to weed through the garbage, that it's getting to be less and less interesting. Maybe the folks that you mentioned will eventually become bored with this medium, and go back to their chat rooms. One can always hope.

Go for fun. You should do what you like doing the best, then you will have more passion for your job.

Not weird at all!  I've been home since 2002.  Started off, the birth of my last child, and now ended off being medical, had a cornea transplant last december and now about to have the other eye done next month.  I am excited that I should have perfect eyesight beginning next summer, but I am estatic that I may be able to go out and get a job.  Mind you, not a career, my family is my career and I had my own graphic design business, but I mean a J.O.B.  As most career women like yourself, we began working so early and for so long that we don't know how to do nothing.  Alright, so find something to do.  What do you do as a hobby now?  Make it your own career.  Do you know, this million dollar 'make a bear' business started as a hobby?  I'm sure there is something that you like to do everyday that people just know its Your knack.  Take it a parlay it into your new career move.  I'm sure making some money on the side wont hurt either! smile, good luck.
