You are not passionate about the job your doing. What is your passion because what's your passion that's the field you shoul be in and learning, educating yourself and growing in that field. However, I WILL NOT GIVE UP A GOOD JOB JUST YET WITHOUT ANOTHER GOOD JOB TO REPLACE IT AND IT WILL BE IN THE FEILD THAT I WOULD LOVE AND BE PASSIONATE ABOUT. sTICK WITH YOUR JOB UNTIL YOU FIND THE JOB AND CAREER THAT YOU LOVE. i SAY THAT BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A GOOD JOB OR EVEN A JOB FOR THAT MATTER. KEEP WHAT YOU GOT UNTIL YOU FIND THE JOB THAT YOU CAN COMPARE TO WHAT YOU HAVEOKAY. GOOD LUCK

I recently read an article entitled "Four Ways to Make a Bad Job Good" Here are the highlights.
1. Make a friend at work.
People with one friend at work are much more likely to find their work interesting. And people with three friends at work are virtually guaranteed to be very satisfied with their life.
2. Decrease your commute time by moving closer to work.
A bad commute spills over into the rest of the day for almost everyone.
3. Know when it's not about your job.
A good job:
• Stretches you without defeating you
• Provides clear goals
• Provides unambiguous feedback
• Provides a sense of control
If you have these things in your job and you're still not happy, it's not your job -- it's you.
4. Do good deeds.
Help people. Be kind. Don't think about what you get in return. Just be nice. In this way, you can make the world a better place in the job you have right now.

Nothing we all go through these times of unsatifaction as in what we do does not really make a difference. Be patient and see what your action really do to make a difference and grab the joy out of everyone that does. When you can make a difference in someone else's life through your job it very rewarding.

Continue in the job you are in and research a field that interests you. You can do night courses and such until you feel comfortable going for that job that you will jjust love to go into everyday.
