This was my problem at university. It was way too easy for me, and I didn't get challenged until the final thesis project, which then took way too long and essentially failed even though I did get a passing grade. Real-life work does present complex problems though, and I am basically not capable of tackling them, even though I am smart enough to solve them once someone else has divided them into smaller problems.
