So what do you want to do? Practically nobody's full-time job is changing the world, and for everyone who does manage to put a dent in the universe, loud opponents will tell you you're doing it all wrong. First step in "escaping" is having a vision of what escaping looks like. What really makes you happy? As others have pointed out, escaping may very likely still look a lot like a CRUD app. Spend some weeks keeping a diary, taking note everyday of what you did you liked and what you didn't like. Try to figure out the "why" for each of those. A pattern will likely emerge.
