and the $ paid to you doesn't seem worth it?

No one ever provides a FULL job description - that's what that last line "Other duties as assigned" covers!!!
Having said that - if you have taken on a LOT of extra work, and you aren't getting any additional compensation - you do have a legit reason to talk to your boss. Figure out all the additional tasks - and have them ready. Show them that you don't mind doing all this stuff, that you are saving the company money or they would need a second person, and ask for a raise. It helps to be prepared.
Best of luck!

Most of the jobs I have worked have never had a formal job description. However, if I felt I was doing far more work than was originally agreed to (even if there isn't a formal description, you probably have a good idea of what you're job is about from when you were first hired), then I would talk to the boss and try to see about getting a raise to go along with my added responsibilities.
If they are unwilling to give you a raise, and you feel that you can find a better opportunity elsewhere, start looking for a new job. But, don't quit your job until you have a new one lined up.

I would go to human resources and get a copy of my job description. Then I would examine what I am doing against what my description states. Whether it says other duties as assigned or not, it sure better be in the realm of my job or I'd be seeing an attorney.

you can quit your job for any reason you want, of course, just think hard about it, because it can effect you in the long run--it's best if you can wait at least 6 months, that looks better on your resume--but if the job is really not what you expected and you can't stand it, then of course, leave, and you can always explain exactly that in your next interview--the job did not match the description i was told in advance of taking the job.

Have a frank conversation with the boss. Tell them how you feel and that with the added responsibilities should come added compensation.
If they say no - then You can decide if you want to stay or not.

of course, because is like keeping from you vital information on your duties to be and you may be mislead on what they are expecting on so anyway you will be on quicksand and sinking if you stay, on the other hand is you get the FULL information after contract and you still feel capable to accomplish with it then you may need to renegotiate payment conditions based on more duties/responsabilities to perform/keep

maybe....ask yourself if you are gaining experience that would be useful to you down the road. it may be worth it to stick around and learn some things that will make you more "marketable" when you do decide to leave.
