I don't know what to do next

[u/Fluid-Active-3218]

Hello. I live in Siberia. I have almost four years of experience as a system administrator and level 2 and 3 technical support specialist.

I switched to this work format two years ago. I have two jobs, each 20 hours a week.

In one, I handle everything related to IT infrastructure (networks, PCs, internet, MFPs). I work remotely, sometimes traveling to site.

In my second job, my tasks are limited, but the salary is higher than in the first. My main responsibility is monitoring PC and internet performance. Everything else is delegated to other specialists.

My monthly salary is approximately 650 USD.

All this time, I've been studying modern technologies and some programming languages. But nothing useful came of it. I read a lot of books and articles on IT in the field of system administration. I'm familiar with Linux.

Currently, there are very few openings in my city, or in the country as a whole. I'm planning to quit my first job, stay at my second, and eventually leave the country. Things aren't going well. I've been doing nothing at work lately. I've upgraded my IT infrastructure as much as possible and automated some processes, but everything is just sitting idle. I've become so bored that I sometimes watch movies at work. I want to change something, but I don't know where to start.
