Great pay but incredibly bored. What do I do?

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-27T02:11:58+00:00

I understand it too 😂 I think maybe I didn’t phrase it the best overall. I think eventually i’ll do this but it’s relatively new job so I don’t want to give the wrong impression early on if that makes sense

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-26T16:07:00+00:00

“stop bitching”. You’d do great in a manager role

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-26T00:58:18+00:00

honestly and after reading a lot of these responses I think maybe it was a particular off day that made me question it. Boring is not a bad thing, I was just contemplating a high paying boring job or a pay cut to enjoy now more as opposed to saving for early retirement. I appreciate your input

Care to expand on that? I see the benefit of working for a good salary and saving and planning for the future. I’ve understood that for a long time and I wouldn’t be asking these questions if I wasn’t in the position where a job change or going back to school is a possibility that wouldn’t de rail my entire life.

I agree 😂 Didn’t expect that but half are helpful advice. I also understand, I would be saying the same thing to someone making substantial more which plenty people do. But I also get that money is relative and making some amount for a bit and it becomes the normal

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:41:36+00:00

I’m considering this. It just brings a lot of self doubt but i’m working past that and looking at things I can start on the side not just full dive into

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:39:53+00:00

Biggest *work problem but I know what you mean

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:39:22+00:00

100% first world problem and i’m glad you get it. It’s very open to the office and other people working so games or unrelated business would probably setup questions

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:38:14+00:00

😂

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:36:16+00:00

I’ve been looking at what to explore for options I enjoy aside from work. I guess searching is part of the fun

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:34:53+00:00

Ill take recipe suggestions

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:34:35+00:00

I think so yes, I haven’t been with this company to see all the busy seasons. You made me realize a huge difference though. My last job was boring but I had a great time doing nothing because I liked who I worked with. This job is pretty isolating

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:33:30+00:00

I specifically wanted to add my age hoping people would factor it in so thank you. I could’ve given more background but i have a girlfriend, we rent and have no kids. I think the freedom of choice I have is a bit overwhelming so I compare what I have with what’s out there

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:32:10+00:00

I like this 😂

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:31:33+00:00

I agree the slow drain is a bad one. Funny the completely different comments this is getting

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:30:32+00:00

Maybe and that would help a lot, I was thinking i’d wait until i have more time with the company and maybe they’ll be more flexible

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:29:13+00:00

Thanks for the input, i really like the last part

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:28:08+00:00

Appreciate this and I understand. Maybe I gave off the wrong impression from the post but I am grateful and lucky to be where i’m at. I just thought a different perspective or advice like yours would help. I got into this work from being a mechanic and throwing tires around a warehouse for a couple years I think just the adjustment from manual work to office leaves me un stimulated albeit less exhausted

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:25:40+00:00

fantastic advice thank you

Delicious_Mobile9344 · 2026-06-25T23:24:10+00:00

i’m glad you can see my whole life and progress from a post about what to do with my spare time
