Title: I finished my CS degree in UK university 1 year ago. Just after finishing it I started working. First few weeks were quite interesting as I was learning a new framework I had to use, and also learning some aspects of working in a commercial environment. But it got boring quite fast. The salary and other perks are great, but the job is boring. I usually just do stuff that doesn&#x27;t require any creativity or thinking or coming up with interesting solutions. Besides that, it just doesn&#x27;t matter. I just do stuff so the clients could sell their stuff.<p>It has made me a little bit depressed...<p>I am young (23y), and I have so much energy and desire to do something important, to change something, or at least try. I&#x27;ve never cared about money as long as I was able to afford rent and food, so I don&#x27;t really care about salary.<p>I remember the days when I had some hobby project (can&#x27;t come up with new ideas for the last year or so to work on), or some interesting Uni project that involved solving some interesting and harder problems, and it just made me feel alive, it made me think about solving it even when I was trying to fall asleep. I want that again, I want to live like that.<p>What should I do? Where can I find companies &#x2F; start-ups that would fulfill me, in UK or some other European country (I really wouldn&#x27;t mind to move)? Is it even possible? I don&#x27;t think I even care about the area I would work (as long as it would require computers and programming), I am ready to give all the time to it, and learn stuff. The one problem maybe is that I am not very smart, although my employers are very happy with my work, and basically all the clients I&#x27;ve had since 15 years old, but that was just simple websites, nothing difficult.<p>What should I do? I really need some guidance, I feel my life is just being wasted.
