seems like a pretty good job if you have less than an hour of work to do! finish your work, relax, and try to get some things done at the office. hopefully it will get better. |

i think that you should keep your job since it's good paying but i think that you should just hang with friends or get another job. |

I think you should stay there. After all, it's cake and you're getting paid! Since you feel like you're wasting brain power maybe you could take an online course in something that interests you. You could study and do your schooling at work. Bonus! You just need to find something constructive to do with 7.5 hours of your workday! |

Take a second job to do while you're at your first. For instance, find work you can do "at home", like transcription, accounting work, typing manuscripts, etc... (there are many possibilities). Take a laptop to work (don't use the office computer because it belongs to the company and they have legal ownership of anything on it). Work from the laptop and your cell phone.
Now, you've got two pay checks comming in.
Or, take some college courses online while at work or go to college and do your assignments and studying while at work.
I agree....it would be very difficult to leave a well-paying, low-demand job which would be a "dream job" to many. Maybe you could use this situation to your advantage. |

How I would love to be in your position. I don't hate my job, but I have a lot of work and usually don't have enough time in one day to finish everything.
I would suggest doing some creative writing or perhaps keep yourself occupied reading novels of of www.gutenberg.org. It is the website set up to place all public domain novels into a digital archive. All the classics are there and I am sure you can find something that peaks your interest. Plus, many companies frown on actually reading a book when you work at a front desk because it makes you look lazy. This way, you can still read, but it makes you look like you are doing computer work instead.
But word to the wise, don't stay in a job you hate. Even with a pay cut, you could find something with some advancement possibilities and maybe end up at a place you love, doing more AND getting paid more. It just may take some time. It sounds like the position you are in is not one that will lead to any promotion and that is never good.
Good Luck! |

you are an idiot. dont quit. i would quite possibly kill someone for a job like that. Bring like a book or something or watch movies online or get something you can do while you do no work. Seriously like where do you work? I wanna work at a place like that. Trust me, if you quit, get another job where you are doing more work, after about 2 weeks at the most, you are going to be kicking yourself for ever quitting that job. So dont do it, man. |

Have you tried finding more things to do? Are there any frustrations or problems that you or other staff have that you think you could fix or improve?
I think it would be silly to just up and quit. If you really can't stand it, start looking for a new job, sure, and quit only when you have something else to go to. But from what you wrote, you don't actually want to quit, you want your job to be more interesting and challenging.
Well, there's your first challenge! 8-) Find a project you can finish in a couple of weeks or less as a starting place. Once you've proved you can do a lot more you'll find things have a way of magically having your name on them at work... |

If you don't feel like your job is fulfilling enough, I would say to quit it. You don't want to waste half of your life doing something that you DON"T LOVE. Find something that you will enjoy doing and won't regret spending your time on. |

It narrows down to what's more important: enjoying your job or receiving more money.
More money= more things you can buy outside of work and a better quality life style.
More enjoyable work= Enjoying each day as a new experience. |

I know exactly what you mean...cushy, well-paid, easy jobs are hard to leave. But remember one thing...money doesn't buy you happiness. If you're unhappy with your job, save up some money and go persue something as a career that you'll be glad to get up in the morning to do and that'll you'll be passionate about. |

You have to figure out what's more important to you... the money or feeling like you are using your talents. It sounds pretty sweet to me. Just give it a little thought, figure out what's important to you and it'll be easy to figure out. I was in a similar situation recently too. I had an easy job, great pay, but I just hated it; so I quit, and I feel great about it. Good Luck! |

Why would you quit? That seems like a great job. Good pay with, low stress, easy job. No wonder you put this on the mental health post |

Why do something you hate even if it pays well.
Id rather do something I love and get payed ****, then waste away my life doing crap so i can get money.
Cause in the end money doesnt matter, its what you did with your life that matters. |

Just because your boss doesn't give you any more work doesn't mean that you have to waste your time.
Bring a book and do some continuing education in your profession. Or learn something new.
Nobody knows everything. And there is always something useful you can learn. |

I'd say milk this job until the perfect situation comes up. You can also go to school and use work time to study if you're motivated in improving yourself. |

start a side buisness or hobby to occupy your time. The economy is too risky to let go of a good thing nowadays! |
