I'm not sure based on the description if this is a burnout. (When I think of burnout I think uncontrolled crying, physiological reactions etc.) If you have a real burnout you should seek professional assistance if that is an option. If it is just a lack of motivation then things are a bit easier and I think you have at least two choices, maybe more: 1. (I've done this when I was just a few years older than you.) Accept that your current work is boring but otherwise OK. Do side projects. Build a portfolio. 2. (I've done this as well.) Or you can start applying for every job that looks interesting. Since you already have a job you have a great starting point. 3. (Not always an option.) Go back to school as others have mentioned.
