Hey I just finished up my comp sci degree, I got a job straight out of uni at a tech consultancy company (no more than 37 hours a week, free food, amazing pay, chill culture), but I was bored at that job, so bored that I quit after 3 months.
I started coding when I was 11-12, I really love coding, I've implemented some really complicated software in my spare time, 2d physics engine, regex engine in haskell, web server in C from scratch, freebsd kernel modules(yeah I am a giant nerd).
It seems like most of the dev jobs are really repetitive, boring CRUD work and honestly its a little depressing. I don't really want to do this kind of work for the rest of my life.
It seems my comp sci degree was basically worthless, the work I did was just essentially gluing JS code and libraries together.
I am now doing a Masters specializing in distributed computing.
I am thinking about going into research after.
I am also thinking about leaving comp sci as just a hobby and getting into mechatronics engineering or something like this. I am 21, I have plenty of time.
Any advice on how to avoid this CRUD work, which seems to be basically 99% of jobs on the market at the moment? Any advice on what I should do?
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate the time everyone takes to read this post and reply. :)
