Part Time Salary Vs Pro Rated Full Time Salary

Prior to having DS2 I worked full time.
After a 6 month maternity leave I requested part time working which was rejected as my employer felt my role demanded a full time presence however I was offered a new role working 3 days a week, which was great.
Initially I was very pleased and excited, another string to my bow as it were, however 10 months later I am so bored, there is stuff to do but it is so monotonous and not at all mentally stimulating. I feel financially trapped.
My full time salary was pro rated I know I am getting a great deal for the hours I work, I have tried to look for another job not necessarily the same industry but another part time role and I would be looking at a 50% or more reduction in salary if I changed to an advertised part time job.
My husband says I am lucky and who cares about the job, think of the money and though he has a point I feel I am wasting away.
What do you think? Any suggestions about how I can make a financially viable move?
