Is this an office - or a brothel?

I am very discouraged. I have a degree in Communications and great NYC marketing experience. When I hired in, I was hired as an Administrative Assistant. When I informed the owner that it wasn't for me, he put me in the "marketing department". What a joke! I stuff envelopes, make labels and do petty stuff that no one else wants to do. There is a woman who is the Director of Marketing who was there when I hired in. I later discover that she has no degree, no Marketing experience, she gets paid twice as much as me and her schedule is flexible as she only works 20 hours a week. She goes to all of the conferences and meetings (all the glamour work) while I do all of the grunt work in the office.

Today, I was told that she is having an affair with the owner. It's so unfair. I have all of the qualifications and yet I'm doing the same work as I was doing when I was a Sophomore in college.

Response from Carl: I'd be careful about believing rumors that you can't necessarily verify are true. You don't want to make yourself look bad if you find you were given wrong information. If the problem at hand is the job itself, perhaps you need to think about looking for a new job.
