As a mentor, a theme I commonly discuss is about goals at work. I summarize my philosophy as "earn or learn" (not my wording). Your job needs to be either making you money from skills you acquired before, or teaching you skills that will make you money in the future. If you can have both at the same time, that's great, but it's not common. If you have neither, look for another job.
(Yes, it's oversimplified, all catchphrases are).
