I need help making a change in my life and breaking out of a self-defeating comfort zone. I've been at the same company now for 7 years (in a few different positions within). It's a "safe" place to work- I actually transferred to another office and sometimes work from home, have a 'virtual' team I work with that I get along great with.

I am so bored. It's not challenging at ALL. I want to make a career change into something completely different, but it seems that all I can find is something at an assistant level that pays about $20k less than I make now (and I don't even make that much now). I feel stuck. I don't know how to go about making a career change. I look at ads online and respond to those but get nothing back. I feel like time is going by and I am wasting more and more of it in a dead-end job that means nothing to me. I think my BF who initially encouraged me to find something that would interest me, has given up on me going out and actually doing it. I'm not a lazy person ( i actually work a 2nd job in retail, trying to make some extra cash during the holiday season). But I feel like I am the least self-motivated person EVER. How do I get myself going again? I want to feel good about myself and that I am moving in the right direction, not just coasting through each day, which is exactly what I'm doing now.
