I'm going through a very similar situation, though I never finished my degree the first time around. I dropped out, and spent most of my 20's working in various dead end tech support jobs. Then 3 years ago I went back and finished my degree. I graduated in June of 2009. I took a job I now hate because I was trying to get in to get experience and to be able to pay off my student loans. I'm going through the motions in this job, but trying to work my way into the field I want to be in, web development. Bottom line for me is, if you don't enjoy what you do for a living, you don't find it engaging, then you shouldn't be in that job. Find the job you want to work in. I realize it's more difficult as a person who is looking and not currently employed full time, but keep at it. Just keep racking up experience where you can, and eventually you'll get the job you want to be in. Trust me, I've wasted a year in this job, and if I could go back a year, I wouldn't have taken this position.
