Is it normal to feel bored having to work for someone and never getting promoted?

Question

It's already been 6 years since working as a phone translator and prior to that, all I ever did was get stuck in sales and CS rep in other call centers.

I feel bored, 2 1/2 hours have been reduced (hardly any calls between 7-8 am), there is no chance of ever getting promoted and lastly I want to own a business already. I'm tired of forever working for someone else, only to earn less and learn nothing new. There is nothing to learn anymore. I don't want to be an average call centers agent forever. I feel this is a dead-end, where there is no more to go.

Apart from this, it's just boring sitting 8-10 staring at the comp and listening the phone hearing back-to-back. That's all I do, answering calls while my BA degree is standing on the wall, it's there for nothing.
I want to be a successful enterprenuer and don't feel one bit successful at all.

Yes I'm stuck. I don't feel like a profesional, successful woman at all. Successful people don't acquire debts, work till old age for someone else nor are ok with living a humble life.

First step is admitting the problem and all that but look I've started my own business, not a good time for it by the way worst since the great depression/in a 100 years. It is not easy and less than 1% of people actually do. You are trying to go from one of the most common jobs imaginable to one with the highest requirements. That's not a realistic mentality that you have there. You are just going to end up doing some pyramid scam like my mother did.

Do you even want to be a "successful career woman"? Do you have a family? 38 is the realistic cut off for having even one healthy child.
