One more (small) bit of advice. If you are "bored" with your job, it might make sense to step back and spend a bit of time thinking about what would make you really happy in a job.

I've almost made a career of changing careers -- because I honestly haven't spent much time (until recently) thinking about what I really want. Consider all the variables -- such as function, industry, level of involvement (work hours, equity), corporate culture, etc.

Some ideas of references for learning:
* www.assessment.com -- take the MAPP Assessment. The free version gives some interesting feedback, but I highly recommend you invest in the full version
* What Color is Your Parachute -- good book
* Myers Briggs test (MBTI) -- several of them on the web. (sample site -- http://www.typelogic.com/) If you want to interpret your type, I recommend : http://209.15.29.56/myersbriggs/entj.htm
* Look for other career planning and assessment books in the library or bookstore. If you want more titles, I'd be happy to suggest a few.
