Job I like but am way overqualified for vs...something else?

I have a clerical position that pays well below what I'd been making for the past several years. My boss tells me all the time I am seriously overqualified - but she likes me a lot and appreciates me. I don't have a college education, but I do have experience in management, healthcare, and human resources. My dream job would be to be the administrator of a cosmetic dermatology practice, but they don't come up often. Would it be wise to look for something else or just shut up and be happy with what I have, especially since I am treated so well?

    I say, if you like doing what you are doing, keep at it unless money becomes a big issue. I was in a similar situation and simply asked my boss for a raise. I'm still not making as much as I would like but with the work I'm doing it is more than adequate and I am happy there.
