My advice is to stay where you are until you find something better. I honestly don't think a person should stay at a job that not only do they not like, but also that is a dead end. It can be depressing, believe me I know (same situation). I'll take what they will give for now until something better comes along.

My occupation is a temp. Yes , sometimes I do like what I do because I am exposed to different industries and sometimes I am not working (wished I was) like today. I am looking for something long term and permanent, but finding a job today is very COMPETETIVE. There is a waiting list of job opportunities for my line of work.  When I am on the waiting list, I just wished something would happen soon.

If you want to be a fund manager of a hedge fund, you gotta be really smart, good at math and quantitative skills and finance.\n\nFor now you may try to be a trader on the investment desk. Do a CFA if you can..

Do what you feel is right. Aside for the salary increase, I believe you'd need a new work environment as you already mentioned your dissatisfaction with your present work. Go for it and just be glad you have such choice. :)

There is  a difference between being paid well/benefitting from and job and being happy and fulfilled.  The question isn't what would I do, the question is whether or not you are willing to possibly sacrifice the good parts of the job you have for something that gives you the chance to do something you feel is more worthwhile.

You really should go for the smaller markets that focus on the higher end clients.  This is where you may have a shot at making money.  \n\nWalmart is NOT the way.

happiness....it is agonizing to be stuck in a job you hate.  Some people feel better about themselves when working a lower paying job.  \nI work for a non-profit now, making a mere fraction of what I made a few years ago.  However, this is one of the best jobs I have ever had.  I would never want to quit.

I can show you the #1 income opportunity available today. No hype. We have a monopoly on a new technology to measure ones health. There is an open window right now to create a large residual income that you could retire on. Send an email to bhaynes351@yahoo.com for all the information.

I'd go with the fact of it's not a good fit for you, you feel you have no opportunity for advancement, and that you've gone as far as you think you're going to go with that company, and that you're looking for a change. \n\nGood luck!!!

Heh.  The question was about jobs, not trading strategies.\n\nYou could try compliance if it interests you.  To me, that's not very interesting, but to each her own.  It also depends on what you see yourself doing in maybe 10 years.  If you still think you would be interested in compliance, go for it.  I don't know if there's that much upward mobility, though, if you want to move up the chain in a few years.\n\nInvestment banking is mainly acting as a saleperson if you're part of the actual banking division.  They try to get clients to use that bank to finance deals.  So, if you're great at sales, then i-banking might be a good field.\n\nI know the actual government doesn't have great job prospects, but maybe you could find your niche at some other corporation that is to your liking but you can still apply some of your government knowledge.  It's kind of tough to recommend anything without knowing more.

I invested. I make about $5,000 a month. I used over $1 million. My percieved risk was fairly low because of the way that I invested. I do not take time to manage it. That's what I hired my financial advisor and broker for.

The only way that I would consider switching jobs for the same pay would be if there were other perks involved? Are the benefits better?Are the hours better? Is it closer to home? If you're just leaving one gig for the same gig then you have to be leaving to better your situation somehow otherwise, it's point less. May as well just stay where you are. Plus, you have more experience than you did when you started so where ever you go next, you should demand more $ because of what you will be bringing to the company.
