My first question would be what classes did you take in college, and at what level is your highest degree?
 
Not to be tight or condecending or anything, but you could start by using proper sentences.

If you are bored or think you aren't progressing/developing start by talking to your managers, they may give you more to do or more responsibility. If nothing happens move on.
