How do you all keep up your skills if your job is boring and you are not learning much? I have an MBA & PMP, so mostly fall into program/project management consulting roles in healthcare (my industry).

But most of the work is basically 'babysitting' others while managing Microsoft Teams, Project, Excel, and PPT. I have decent soft skills but I feel like anyone can do my job.

Note: MBA is non-top 30. I also have a CPA (never licensed). I feel like someone like me should be doing much more!
