talk to your boss at work as an employee. ask if there is any chance for advancement. if the answer is yes and you actually enjoy what line of work you are in ask to get the ball rolling.. but as you have stated you feel the job is a dead end then tell the boss that you want to pursue a career that is more challenging and pays more because there are certain things in life that you want to accomplish and that you just cant get there from were you are now. don't quit until you have found a better job though.some money is better than no money. then go out after work and have a beer with your friend.

You have to separate your work life from your personal life.
If your boss is your friend, s/he will understand that you are making the move to better yourself. If they are not your friend, they will not understand.
The key thing for you is to exit gracefully. Find a new job and do it cleanly (don't skip work for no reason, for example). Then just go to your boss and tell them that you had a good experience here, but you felt it was time to move on, and you've found a new job. Give 2 weeks notice and you are done. You can tell them that you hope you can still be friends.

Your personal and professional needs have to come first, and a boss who is your friend will understand that. Your friendly relationship may suffer in the short term, but if the boss is a true friend it will be water under the bridge in a short time.

Your not suppose to be friends with the boss. That's why you are in your dead end job. You don't want to leave your friend.

Go to your boss, and say," I am quitting this dead-end job." I know where you are coming from on that one. I work where there are no chances for improvement, only lateral moves.

Dead end job means a person is holding you back. If your boss is the one who is holding you back than is he not really your friend. Some you got to sacrifice. You are in competition with every body else to move up to higher responsibility, bigger paycheck and better life. Tell him (or her) you want better responsibility or you quit.

Since your boss is also a friend, treat him/her with more respect and consideration than normal. Give 3 weeks notice if possible, or agree to stay until they find someone to replace you. If they are not put in a bind, the transition is more likely to go more smoothly than if they had no one. This in turn, will most likely preserve your friendship. Good luck!!

tell the boss that the only way you can see yourself getting ahead in this job is if the boss makes you a partner in the company.

I will not call it quiting, but changing. There are two things that are certain in life: Change and Death. It is up to you. No reason for not keeping the friendship with the "boss".
