Is it time for a new career in my life?

I am in a position at work, where the working environment has become very toxic. (not in the literal sense) My boss and I are complete strangers in the workplace and we maintain our small-talk banter during our weekly meetings, and I can tell we do not particularly care for one another. My co-workers are always caught up in the weekly drama of their lives, and find the need to dump it on me during the week! I am getting bored and feeling very unsatisfied with daily tasks at my position, and I make any excuse to leave my office. Overall, I am strongly considering looking for a new career path, but with today’s job market I am afraid I am under-qualified and will have to take a significant pay-cut. I am a strong believer about pursuing a career you are passionate about, but the $$$ roped me into this position at this global corporation and I’m quite sure I am stuck here.

(Before you ask, I am not the division Vice President of the software company, Initech; it burned down – remember?)
