Jut talk to your boss, or quit. You only live once, so don't live stressing everything. Risk taking is the key to life.

If you want to move jobs, I recommend staying at your current job while searching for a job you really want. If you need skills in a field you want to do, then either plan to study a course at college or apply for some evening classes while working at your current job.

Start by answering this question "if all jobs were equal pay, what would you be? " Now research how you can train for that (if needed) and what else to may need to achieve this... good luck on your next adventure.

Job applications! Improve your skills and keep applying for jobs that you're interested in. Don't limit yourself to a particular field of work or geographical area. Think of options you never considered before because you lacked a few skills required for them. Figure out ways to gain those skills. Put yourself out there, you never know, your dream job might be waiting for you!

maybe consider education or find another job that could lead to a better opportunity. Although it's scary, a lot of people join a military force to open doors and opportunities for their future.

Look into yourself and understand the difference between what you can do and what you love doing. John Maxwell once said that if you do something long enough, eventually someone will pay you for it. When you find what you love, figure out why you love it. Really hone in on the root of your passion and then start learning about careers which feed this passion. You might have to work the dead-end job awhile to pay for schooling, but once you get what you really want in life... heh... all those hours are worth it.

You can start taking classes for what you really want to do, at a local community college. And I recommend learning everything you can at your current job; you never know when you will need those skills again.

Figure out what you'd really like to do with yourself. You have a passion and a gift to give to the world. Many ways of exploring those options could be through taking night classes to up skill or volunteering in your spare time. There are lots of resources available at your disposal to progress in the ways you want to. All you have to do is work out what is best for you!
