I had a conversation with a friend of mine online last week. We got onto the subject of what I do for work. I told him I'm a software developer for a customer relationship management platform that's focused on real estate. He said "wow, not gonna lie, that sounds booooooring! I'd hate doing that." Funnily enough, my current job has been one of my favorites. There are always creative and interesting problems to solve. The feedback from my team and from the customers is also rewarding. I certainly have some itches that I need to scratch in terms of personal projects, but generally, I'm satisfied with just how involved and exciting my "boring" job is. Don't get discouraged if you're not seeing what you want right away. Consider cutting your teeth with some not-so-appealing companies. It may turn out that it's not so boring to you. And also, you'll get some additional experience for when those jobs turn up later.
