Bored and wasting away at work - Now what?

I have a bachelor's degree in Sociology. That doesn't exactly translate in to a particular field. So I went back and got a Paralegal Certificate on top of that. I worked as a Legal Assistant for about a year for an Attorney that did Real Estate, Estate Planning, and business. After that, I did some work with a non-profit for about a year using my Real Estate knowledge. Then I somehow landed in an Executive Assistant role for about a year at a Medicaid Managed Care Company. Then they closed.

So for personal reasons, I moved out of state and took a general office job. I figured it would be good to be in a low stress job while I adjust to a new city, new house, new baby, etc. Now I've been here about a year and a half and I am BORED! I am capable of so much more than answering phones, ordering supplies and sending out mail.

I am trying to figure out what to do next. On one hand, I now live in a large city with a Law School....

What to do????

Head to a temp agency see what their options are, They can evaluate you, and find a job more suited.

Try a temp agency. They can place you in jobs you are qualified for and they get a feel for what you may or may not like. If you don't like the job they place you in, you can go back and they'll find you someplace else. Only problem is that its a temporary job unless the employer decides to keep you and it takes between 30 - 60 days to get benefits, etc and your being paid by the temp agency not by the actual employer.

If going back to school is an option, then go. Do what will make you happy.
