I'm working towards a professional designation, and work for a small business within the same capacity. Recently I started to feel bored of what I do. I liked small business because I saw my recommendations being implemented and the effect on the bottom line.

Now, I feel I just do grunt work. I feel that I don't have enough responsibility for what I get paid. The job feels more customer service - something a $10/hr high school kid can do.

Have any of you felt like this? This would be the lazy mans dream, get paid more to do less work.

I was thinking about talking to management, and asking for more responsibility and sharing how I feel - but I don't know how to do it - never felt this way before... For all that matters I've been with the company for 2.5 years and had the same type of job role for 3.5 years.

edit: I actually took on a side gig and the work I do with that is more intriguing.. It's not many hours but it keeps my brain from rotting.
