Have you been in a "CRUD" job for at least a year? I can assure you, what often seems like a "CRUD" will teach you a lot about architecture, design, requirements analysis, etc. It's actually a good way to teach yourself skills that cannot be obtain via university schooling. Spend a year mastering a framework or two (in a paid project), face some support issues, etc. When the job is boring and you complete your tasks very well, ask for a raise and/or start looking for a new job.
