I am 25 years old, and completed a computer science degree 3 years ago.
For the past three years I have been in a permanent full-time position as a computer programmer. However I do not enjoy this job. I have very limited time to explore new interests, and in addition due to where I live, it takes me 2 hours of daily travel to get to the workplace.
What should I do? I am unsure if I should quit as everyone I have spoken to mentions that I should be grateful that at least I have a job in this economic climate, and that all jobs have some disadvantages.
Also I do not know what I would be able to contribute of economic value if I was to become unemployed, or if I could even find another job outside of ICT. To be honest I would rather be outside, meeting people and creating things rather than sitting in an office all day 5 days a week. I feel that I currently only have my programming skills and have no idea how to safely move to something else.
