<human>: So I have a full time job as a tester... I hate every minute of it.

I have a CS degree with a minor in networking and security and MSc degree in IT. I wasted half the time at Uni, I started working hard and paying attention to class way too late. So I did a MSc, maybe that was gonna help me but it didn't.

I don't live in the US. Here in my country, companies ask for provable experience in certain technologies like Java or .NET, but I don't have that. Sometimes they ask my experience using Design Patterns at work, I tell them I have heard of some but never have used them.

I have some web dev experience using LAMP stack. (Internship and part time).

One internship abroad, working with JavaScript.

Some experience in C while working in Uni part time and at another company full time, but I got out of that other company because it was an embedded software position.  I don't like working with hardware.

I have interviewed with MS (went to Seattle), Amazon and some other companies from US. I like those because they often ask to solve problems in any language. But push comes to shove, they require people that code every day. I won't lie maybe I'm a bit slow, I but I do practice solving problems in C and Java before any technical interview. 

I don't have much experience. I did my master right after graduation from college.

I spent most of 2013 searching for a fulfilling job. I went through a lot of interviews. I got rejected a LOT. So basically many companies tell me I don't have experience. I have interviewed for SDE and SDET positions.

I do try to work outside of my job. I have tried doing a PHP job and a RoR job but both fell apart. I couldn't get any help or the company thought I was charging too much. I have tried getting friends onto these projects but they are also busy with their life. 

Should I stop trying in 2014 and stay in my shitty job? I don't know how to better myself, I feel I'm stuck.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I'm not complaining about my current job. I'm well paid considering my short experience, but there is a feeling that i could be doing so much more.
