text: career advice for new college grad? what do you do when you know that you hate your current job, but are unsure of where you want to move next, but you feel as if you stay at your current job (which pays over 60k) a moment longer that you are going to choke the manager, tie him up, and send him to india on a tiny sailboat? i am a recent college graduate at my first job...and although i love the company that i am with, i despise my job title...but i am not allowed to change positions before my first year is up...which is 4 more months to go. does anyone have advice on how to be productive in a seemingly non productive situations? you definitely have the carrot dangling in front of you- unless you live in california, 60k to start is excellent bucks- so whenever you start picturing your hands moving towards your managers neck and call fed ex to send him to india via the slow boat to china route, think of the green- the moola, the buckos-- and as far as being productive, it seems you've been faking it pretty good so far, so just continue doing the same.  good luck
