A good chunk of my time at my first real "professional" job was like this. After a while, you kinda get used to the boredom and it becomes less boring. But what terrified me the most, was pissing away my hard-earned education and potential during the formative years of my career. I was glad when I left, and did so at the first opportunity.

The thing is, on the outside, it looked like an excellent job to others. After all, it had great stability and benefits. But to me, it felt like I was wasting my life.
