	| Hi all, 
 I have a question for you:
 
 but first the background:
 
 I currently work in IT as second level support, I've been in the IT industry for the past 7 years doing things ranging from:
 
 network engineering
 network management
 desktop support
 helpdesk
 network infrastructure design and management
 Wireless lans
 
 All of the above supporting sites with between 3 - 1500 pc's, users in excess of 3000 and in some cases sites with 15 + servers.
 
 the position I am currently in is stable, pays well (50k + corp car + laptop + mobile phone) yet I find it incredibly boring...
 
 Boring too the point I am usually half asleep, this position is permanent to government (for those who don't know - that means unless I do something really stupid like torch a govt. building - I'm there till I retire).
 
 ok onto the question:
 
 Do I take a risk, find a new exciting challenging job that is likely to pay as well as my current (probably minus the perks) that may not have the same security, or do I stick with my mediocre current position where I feel my skills and abilities are wasted?
 
 Money isn't the reason behind the question, it's more job satisfaction....
 
 Anyone? comments welcome.
