I still have 3 years lift to get my BA, and that is only if I remain commited to going to school. I am 29 and still not sure what I want to do. I work in a office making just enough to pay my bills. It is extremely boring and dont see myself wanting to move up as none of the positions are interesting. What do I do now?

Life is to short to work in a job that you hate - there are other positions out there for a young person like you- if you have the desire to find them - check the Internet - newspaper etc./friends talk to people at the school you attend - but change jobs ! Ask yourself What do I want to do with my life? then find that perfect job! it is there for you you just have to want it and look for it! bk spikes

I just quit going to a traditional school...and I am now taking classes online through the university of Wisconsin...alot of their colleges offer great online classes for REALLY reasonable prices...we're talking close to in-class prices. I took a 3 week truck driver training course, and now I'm trucking for a large over the road company and studying in my downtime from my laptop. It's SO liberating. I have been a nurse for 6 years, and got sick of all the crabby bosses and patients...and so I went back to school, and truck driving is SUCH an awesome choice for me. I've been to Wyoming, Georgia, and Florida...just this week so far! I make about $43,000 per year right now starting out. Give it a try! No more offices...that's for sure!

You sound uninspired. Read "Who Moved my Cheese". It will give you a kick in the but...at least for a day or 2 anyway.
Don't let others dictate your future...go out there and look for something else....especially since its paying you peanuts. Makes peanuts at a job you hate or peanuts at a job you love. At lease the peanuts will taste better at the later.

Read one of Barbara Sher's books. "I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was" might help you get some direction and inspiration. "Wishcraft" is also good but it's out of print so harder to find.

do you hate your job or your position try talking to your boss or supervisor tell them if you could transfer to another department or different position dont just keep your mouth closed speak up.

If they are paying for your school stick with it. If not find a new job.

Change it. If your current employer is paying for your degree though he may want reimbursing for his costs so far.
