jrkemerer··on Quit Current Job that Involves Work I wasn't hired to do, or Stay?
Thank you marilyn, I must say, that out of most of the replies, your's has been the most helpful.

I must say that the other replies that I've read have also been helpful, I cannot disregard the other replies though, and I am still torn between quitting and keeping my current job which pays student assistant wages yet still, we do most of the work in the department.

The problem I am facing is the fact that I am both emotionally and mentally drained at my current job, but also, I am getting paid wages which are far below what I should be making if I were working full time doing the same work. I'm basically making student assistant wages, doing full time work that would in industry, make much more than I am current' making.

I'm still looking, and the search hasn't been going on too long. There's no reason I can't find a job in a relatively short amount of time, the mobile industry is currently booming. Even if I have to settle for a short term mobile contract position until I find something long term, I should be able to find something.

As far as finding something before quitting goes, I'm still looking, and I'm still living at home being a relatively fresh graduate, and my current job is both emotionally and mentally draining which is why I want to get out.
