Next problem
I am an economist working with a boss who is nationally respected. However, my role is rather “freestyle” and I am finding it difficult to come up with new projects and keep motivated. My boss will help me if I ask, but generally he does not seem to care what I am up to. I want to learn but how do I grow when I am left to my own devices? How do I find new ways to generate ideas and keep pushing myself? Female, 20s
