Every job is fulfilling and impacting on some level. One project I worked on generates $150 million in revenue for the company I work for -- essentially saving a huge portion of the business. That's fulfilling for me and that impacts a major corporation and the lives of people who work for this company. But as engineers, we finish one thing and start another. There's no time to bask in our 'glory' and honestly, no one gives two shits about who made a feature work -- all that matters is that it works. What we think is 'impacting' and 'fulfilling' is all relative. What I'm trying to get across here is that most jobs aren't super exciting. If you're not happy in your current situation, keep looking for a job that IS exciting/fulfilling/impacting and don't complain, because you already know what you want and that's not what you currently have. Of course there are jobs that actually impact the world directly, there's just a smaller number of these jobs available. The Google Search team is a team that changes the world, but good luck joining them. Go help with the government health care crisis if you want to change the world. Health care systems are in a terrible state for the future. I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm just trying to show you that the real world isn't what you've imagined throughout your college career, that's all and it's all good.
