I think waffling, as you call it, is a vital part of being a young professional. Sometimes you of course want to leave a job you hate, but sometimes it's more pratical and mature to stick it out and reap the long-term benefits--even if it's only to have a solid resume.

Kristen,
Good point. Although, longevity in a job is usually considered to be around 3 years and many start feeling the urge for change at the halfway point.
The ROI that you mention may help in the short-term (assuming career life of 50 years), but it prolongs the waffling period. There are other ways to reduce that time; start a side project (for money or otherwise), create an emergency account, consult on some of your hobbies. The more options you develop, the less need (and fear) you'll have.
