>I have been feeling disappointed that I haven't been able to use my computer science degree to it's full potential. Sometimes I feel this, which is exactly why I have multiple side projects which I can flitter between as and when the wind takes me. Like any subject, I think you need to remind yourself why you chose it and get back to the core of what you enjoy. I've not yet personally experienced burn-out in my job (and hopefully won't), but I can see people who have their work-job as their only interaction with computers and begin to resent it. Depending on how much excess time you have, you can really float the boat out there. Time is the most valuable asset you have (which is what companies exchange money for), find a split between work, a hobby and socializing.
