Depends, when you say well paid are we talking pays for yachts and porches or just a bit more than what your mates earn if its the latter then hell yeah find another job thats more interesting, however if you earn an absolute fortune surely your out of work life if fantastic and that must be why you took the highly paid job in the first place
think about it way up the pro's and cons but dont be afraid to try something new but remember we only work for one reason and that is money so dont confuse work and fun they dont usually go hand in hand especially with well paid jobs

Getting paid plenty means you can get alot of things that you like and need. Looking at it this way, the job does bring you happiness.
However, maybe what you enjoy more will bring similar amounts of money as well as satisfaction and happiness. I think you should decide what you love to do, and only after you have secured a new job, leave the one you are in right now. That way, no damage is done, and you live happily ever after..

I wouldn't be happy! I did have a well paid job, but was getting bored, so I changed job to something similar, slightly less pay but a lot more interesting.
You spend most of your life in work, so it has to be something you enjoy. I don't see the point of being bored all the time, you only have one life so you should make the most of it.
I know money is a bit of a problem, but if you are really that determined you will find some way to make it work.

Can you get another equally well paid job that you’ll find more interesting or do you have to take a pay cut to do that?
If you have to take a pay cut, then maybe take advantage of what you are paid now and set a savings goal. Once you’ve reached it then quit and try something else.
If you don’t have to take a pay cut then leave! Sometimes a change will be just what you need.

No, you shouldn't leave unless you are a professional like a CPA or something where getting a job would not be as difficult as for most of us. Good paying jobs are very very hard to find. Keep looking around while working. Good luck.

I'll trade jobs with you.
My job is far from boring, but there really is no room for advancement.
Find another job, or find satisfaction in other areas of your life.

I have that problem too
I am staying here long enough to be able to put it on my CV (6 months) and then moving on. No point in winning absolutely nothing from this.
Plus, will use the money to pay off debts and save up for a holiday

the fact is your going to spend 2/3'ds of your life working so the best thing is to be happy in what your doing unless you feel you can use all that money to make the time not working very happy. your gonna have to ask yourself that.

I would do it till I could find something else. I am use to running two kids, doing house work, and my school work. I could not handel a boring job.
