Unfortunately, I completely understand boredom. I myself have been considering transitioning out of the administrative field. At one point I supported the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and I was still bored. The core elements of the administrative positions (travel, expense reports, filing, etc.) are no longer of interest to me and when you are bored, the day drags incredibly long. I need more of a mental challenge than my last few jobs have given me.

In fact, I feel so strongly about this that I am considering hiring a career coach this year to walk me through some exercises to try to identify what new career would be most suitable for me. There are many areas that I enjoy.

I really like the idea of becoming a motivational speaker with a focus on career development and enhancing your value to the company. While this economy is certainly not the best time to launch such a business, I think I could combine it with some other consulting work to make a successful business.

I would also like to return to school to pursue my bachelor's degree, but I haven't decided what it would be in. It's amazing how indecision can paralyze us, even for years, isn't it?? This has been on my to do list for far too many years.

Good luck to you!!!
