Unhappy salesforce dev how to switch into a better role

I am a unhappy salesforce dev. Here's a little back story. I graduated May 2022 with an associates in software development. I was eager to start working and was possibly thinking about getting my bachelor's after I landed my first job. Unfortunately every where I interviewed with told me no. I either needed so many years experience or a bachelor's. I eventually landed a job with a company that said they would train me in what I didnt learn while doing my associates to become a dev. I jumped on the on it. They left out mostly being a Maas company and I would be a niche salesforce dev. Now a days I try to avoid the admin tasks my boss want me to do on the salesforce orgs and stick to development. I am not trying to sound ungrateful I am thankful for the job and it pays well but it's not what I want to do. The only industry wide technology I use is vanilla javascript. If it wasn't for the js i wouldn't feel like a dev. The other tech I use is apex which is a Java like language and SOQL not SQL. Both of these were built by salesforce and yea the have some things in common with the language they copied but there are paradigms and things you have to do that can't be applied to other languages. A lot is abstrated away like for example inserting or updating entries to a database consists of this command 'insert myObject'. I feel unsatisfied with my job bc I'm not doing the type of development I want.Also I feel like all of the things abstracted away and paradigms that taken away are important things for a new developer to learn and I'm missing out on it and learning things that are completely useless in other languages or not best practice. So now I am working on my bachelor's while I work here in hopes that after I get my degree I will be able to get as a full stack dev working with Java, aws node react those type of languages and technologies or land a job as a database dev where I write crud and application code. I wish I could get out before I get my degree bc honestly I probably wouldn't continue school I just feel like it's something I have to do to get what I want.Is anyone in a similar boat or the same boat and have any idea of how I can switch companies to get my dream role?
