Job or not to job?!

I went to USC and got a Bachelors Degree. Then I went back to school and got my Paralegal Certificate. All so I could work as a %#@& secretary!!!!!!
I got a job as a Legal Assistant with a law firm because I figured it would at least say law firm on my resume, even if it was Legal Assistant instead of Paralegal. Little did I know I would spend my ENTIRE DAY either doing nothing at all or typing dictated letters!!! I am doing the job someone that barely graduated high school could handle! I need absolutely no degree or skill level (besides typing) to do this job, much less the TWO degrees that I have! It infuriates me that I was even called in to interview for this job, as it is clearly below the skill level that I have. This should have been obvious by my resume with the significant work experience that I have, not to mention the 3.9 GPA I had in my Paralegal program! I am not trying to sound pompous, but nobody should ever work a job that they are too qualified for because you end the day feeling unfulfilled and under-stimulated, turning your mind into mush because you aren’t challenged! You teachers know this well when you see it in a student…they start to act out and get annoyed when you ask them to do anything because they’re so bored! This is what I am turning into!!!
I could probably deal with this if I maybe had great pay or fantastic co-workers…I have neither! I won’t elaborate on the pay, but my office consists of me and two attorneys. That’s it. Yep, three people. So no lunch dates or drinks after work or gift exchanges for the holidays, etc, etc. You can’t exactly have a holiday party with three people and their spouses. I really didn’t think I would mind this but I really, really do! Nobody to gossip with at work?! Can you imagine?!?!?!
To top all of this off, the firm decide to do away with its 401k plan yesterday. The entire thing! Doesn’t really give you much incentive to stay huh? But the kicker is I have only been here about 5 months so I would hate to have another notch on the resume. Then, ironically enough, I get a call from another firm today wanting to interview me for a position I applied for months back! So now a dilemma…if I am offered the job do I take it, making another job listing on the resume? What if it’s worse? Not to mention that my husband and I would like to move away from Charlotte next year so I could potentially be leaving then. So stay here and be miserable for another year? Take the new job if it’s offered and don’t worry about the resume? Basically, be happy today and worry about tomorrow, well, tomorrow? Or be practical and stay with it, knowing i can do better? Where did I put that damn crystal ball….

Where does it go?

So I have this friend who has two children and she has been blessed to be able to stay home with them. Her husband is a teacher. How in god's name do they afford this????? My husband and I both work and make semi-decent money but yet we never have any of it to spend!!! Granted we do have some of that good ole American credit card debt and those beneficial student loans but no more than I would think other Americans have. I obviously have no clue how much debt others have and what bills they pay each month but I just don't get how other people have so much more disposable income than my husband and I?! How does she get to stay home with her kids and still feed them? How do others take trips and go to expensive dinners and shop and go to expensive festivals and concerts, etc, etc, etc! The Shell station down the street is still open. Maybe I should consider a few of those education-funding lottery tickets.....
