I hate my job. I have always been more inclined towards doing the creative things and I have quite vivid imagination power. Everyday that I go to office and do something I'm not interested in seems like a punishment and has started to depress me. I have been thinking about learning ui ux design and make career as a product designer but there are awful lot of courses and resources online which is a bit overwhelming. Any guidance from people with experience will be greatly appreciated.

Do a 6 months design course. Look for a reputed design school like Design Boat. Do not rely on online courses completely as you'll lack commitment. Consider online courses as supplementary. You need to be in touch with designers in real life to learn better.
