I started off working on random problems with PHP then I started working at a 1 person web development company where I learned a lot in terms of frontend development and cross browser compatibility issues and database work. Now I'm using all of the skills that I learned over the course of the years in this new startup where I'm the lead technology guy. I also picked up Ubuntu server command line administration in addition to assembling servers and deploying them.

Give it time and if you maintain the interest you'll end up learning a lot of cool stuff that will be helpful throughout your future
