Well you could try talking to your boss. Tell them that you want more of a challenge. Try telling them exactly how you feel. If you apply for another job your boss is going to know because they will probobly contact for a reference. Try this approach. Find a time when you and your boss can talk. Tell your boss that you would like more challenging work. Maybe ask what is the realistic chance of you moving up or into a different department. Whatever you don't come accross as threatning. Don't say things like if you don't get this then you're leaving. Come across sincere. Any good boss will want to work with you unless your performance blows chunks. That may be another question ask what your boss thinks of your performance and depending ask for more challenges. If your comfortable where you are then that's what you do. If you really want to get a new job you might be back to square one.

Answer 3

Well, I have a great career I really love. You could actually start out part time and work around your other job's schedule until you got going on it, then quit. The company is awsome and offers a 401k, and benefits plan. I work from home, so it would be easy to work it around your other schedule. It is mostly computer work, so you can set your own hours.
