How long you should stay at your first job?

Right now I am working my first real job out of college and I've become increasingly unhappy. I am not getting as much work as I thought I would, the work itself is not very stimulating, etc., etc. I've only been here 5 months now and at times I feel like I am going insane. The only cool thing about it is that its a small business and the people are awesome. The environment is great. However, there is no real opportunity to move up the ladder. I'd like to find another job eventually but this one has to be on my resume. How long do you think is sufficient to stay here in order to look good on a resume. I hear employers may think it's sketchy if you aren't at a job very long. Would 1 year suffice? I think I can hold out for another 6 months.
