I am finding myself in a difficult situation about my career, questions about being a legal runner?

I am currently employeed at a small community bank as the safe deposit box attendant. I am also expected to answer all of the calls, approx 500-600 a day as well as assist that VP of marketing. I am getting so worn out and feel like i am not getting paid enough. This is not a place where you ask for a raise by the way. I have faxed in my resume to a law office to apply for their position as a receptionist/gopher..as they put it...I am just so torn....i feel that even though my job is so stressful...maybe it is more stable.... I am 21 and married and I need to have a job. I feel so torn right now..i just don't know what to do with my life. I talked to my mom and she said she thought it was a good idea for me to apply for the runner job if i was currently unhappy....then i talked to my sister who at one time was a runner at some firm and she said that i don't need to do it, that i would get tired of it really fast. Could someone give me some advice..i am not asking you to make my decsion for me i just want your opinion. I am trying to build a career for myself and i feel very lost right now.

1. Make a plus sign on a sheet of paper. Label the top with the jobs and label the side pros and cons. List everything you can possibly think of, don't worry about what's more important than something else, just brainstorm. Start with the basics like the pay, the hours, the commute, the job duties. Then move on to the long term things, like job security, possibilities for advancement, etc. Once you've written down everything you can think of, decide which are most/least important. You may want to rank each item 1-10 and add up the totals when you're done. Then it's time to sleep on it and trust your instincts. You may decide after all that thought the one with the lower score is the right move. Changing jobs is rarely an easy decision and no one can make it but you.
