Start thinking about what you actually want to code for fun. Write an outline of it, and the skills you'll need to accomplish each piece. Focus on learning those skills while you are working professionally. Keep learning until you feel comfortable working on your own project. It may take switching a few more jobs before you are that comfortable. Then, start writing your project, and eventually quit working professionally so that you have more code juice for your own pursuits. Office work may seem miserable, but if you play it right, it's like a more effective university that you also get a pretty good stipend for attending. Good luck!
