A little background: I am a GIS Analyst (Geographic Information Systems), in other words, I make maps and analyze data. It is my only job since graduating college.

Why am I bored? Its repetitive and often times I feel no satisfaction for the work I am doing. I like doing things where I can see an end result that has a measurable purpose. Obviously, when I make a map there is an end result and it serves a purpose, but really, in the end, it doesn't feel like there is any "greater good" that is coming out of the work.

As far as the financial advice, thank you. My wife and I have been following Dave Ramsey's financial advice for several years now and have been very successful with that: no credit card debt, no car debt, and only the last student loan and house to go Eventually we'll be able to yell WE'RE DEBT FREE!

Again, thanks for the advice and personal stories. I'm sure I won't be making any crazy decisions anytime soon. And, like you all have said, there aren't a lot of good jobs around right now...

Wow. I am impressed. Doesn't look like you need any advice, but that is always the way, people who are going in the right direction are always checking their course.

Bet your folks are proud of you!
