I realize from the responses to my earlier posts that I hadn't made my thoughts completely clear. I am definitely not advocating remaining in a job one hates when other options are feasible. I have changed jobs (indeed, I went back to grad school) for that very reason.

My posts were predicated on the assumption that, for whatever reason, such a job change was either infeasible or undesirable at the moment. I had assumed that if a job change were a reasonable possibility, Sammie would simply have started pounding the pavement, rather than creating this thread.

Joy,
Lynn
