What would you do with this job? Leave? stay?

I love my line of work. I'm a draftsperson and love ever second of working on AutoCAD (software) and getting involved with drawings in construction. I get paid really well, for someone in my position, and the location is perfect, etc So i guess your wondering why i'm asking about leaving? Well for the last 12 months i've had no real work to do. I've had little jobs here & there but nothing major. Also because of my 'no work' i've got stuck with crappy paper work & sorting files :( Not what i love doing or what i'm trained for really. Also with no work i've lost my motivation towards my job and i'm starting to forget why i even chose this line of work :( It's because of the Global Financial Crisis that there is no work, but everyone recons the work should be picking up this year blah blah blah So what should i do? A) i find somewhere else to go, not get paid as much but be more rewarding with more work to do, or B) stay and suck it up cos i've got it good and i don't realise it? Also another reason for leaving is all my friends have left. I have ONE person left out of an office of 30 people that i call friend. So the work 'fun' has reduced along with the work load. Should that be considered a factor to leave? It sounds like not enough reasons to leave, but i've been thinking about it for a while and i don't know what to do :( Thanks everyone ♥

1. If you still love what you do then stay with it, so what u have to do filing, that is every job. Work will pick up and with CAD thats something to keep up with. Maybe look around for other jobs similar and then decide, I would not quit until u have another one.
2. gosh! STAY!!! the job market SUCKS!!!
