Don't just look at your current work. Look to your superiors and/or your elders in the company; are they doing work you would like to be doing?

As a new-hire, you often don't get to do the most interesting work.

My elders all do the same flavor of tasks that I do, just more entrenched with knowledge because they've been there for a while. It looks like the two career paths for me there if I stick around are either going to be management or the same thing I'm doing now, plus some experiential knowledge.
Ok. Just wanted to make sure you weren't getting caught up purely in how much you didn't like the new-hire work.
Yeah, I appreciate that. It's really easy to get tunnel vision on parts of a job that you don't like and forget the things that are good about it.
