Any other data monkeys here who are bored out of their minds?

I'm in a data science/data analyst role that has very little real data science work. I've done other interesting and impactful things, but I've forgot a lot of the things from my data science masters program. I'm in the process of learning Python again (for what feels like the 10th time) and machine learning.

Anyone else out there who's trying to transition to a real data science role? I'm bored out of my mind and I'm looking into starting some Kaggle competitions and then eventually try to build something that will scrape data off the internet that we can use to build some ML algorithm using it.

If you're also at a super boring analyst job or a grad student, I'm open to connect.

I'm particularly interested in projects that mimic business problems like (time series forecasting, price prediction (not stocks but other assets), risk assessment like default rates, and other things in those categories.
