You are likely getting bored. My guess is that you are a bright person who needs to exercise their brain and isn't seeing enough opportunity in your current situation. Gamedev keeps me occupied outside of my 9-to-5. Pick an engine: GoDot, Monogame, even Unreal or Unity. Pick a simple game to mimic or emulate, and see how far you get. Don't worry about it looking nice; focus on applying your education to it (i.e. try to encapsulate functionality, write tests, etc.). I've been working off and on with the same project for over a decade just for fun, and I find it both stimulating and challenging. Give it a shot; at least you can blog about it and consider it a hobby entry for your resume.
