I have a crap job, however, I get paid well for what I do. The only reason I work is for the time I am not working. What time I get off, weekends, vacation, and retirement. My fulfillment in life comes from hobbies and other interests I do outside of work.

Do something you love and it wont be a job. Or make money and give up on the idea that the job is going to make you happy. That being said, find a job that offers advancement. Most places you will start at entry level positions. Try for your bosses job. Take a few days off and apply for various jobs in different fields.
