It doesn't seem like it would be irresponsible to just look around for options.
My first job was paying a good amount of money and I also went to graduate school and worked hard to prepare for the job but looking back, I was lethargic and quite bored. Because it was my first job, I thought all jobs just felt that way. People would say "it's called 'work' for a reason - it's not supposed to be fun" so I accepted that because I had no other experience to compare against. Now I have the perspective to know that it was a boring job that happened to pay well but I love what I do now and it doesn't even compare in terms of fulfillment and joy.
