Question about work/career

Advice

I have been working at my current position for about four months now. I am doing help desk, but we touch switches, storage, exchange, servers, and are expected to fix hardware/software. I don't like the position as I feel I could be doing something more along the lines of sys admin or a more challenging role.

I have spoken to my boss about the chance of moving up to a higher position, but I feel as though he is thinking more responsibility with same pay. I asked about attending training, but was blown off. I'm not learning much here...changing out monitors and hard drives, or installing software. Boring.

The pay is decent, but my days are slow. I've only been here 4 months so I feel like companies will view me as a quitter.

I have plenty of certs, experience and B.S degree with security clearance.

Any ideas?

With those you shouldn't be working help desk in the beginning. Just start applying for other jobs and move on. You should be able to find something on monster,dice,linkedin etc.
