I'm definitely all over the map. The problem is that I've never felt drawn towards any one thing. If I find something that interests me, I delve into it. I master it. Then I get bored with it and move on to something else. I've actually read those two books and scores of others, but I haven't had any success in finding a direction.
You think I'm looking for life satisfaction through job satisfaction? |

Margaret Lobenstein considers you, and me, to be "renaissance souls" (check out www.togetunstuck.com).
i don't think in life you have to be drawn to any one thing, or one job, if that's not your style. today, it's fashionable to head on a straight and narrow career path once you head out of college. but, of course, we're not all the same. for your next career jump, try to make a list of jobs that you would most regret not doing. find the pro's and con's of tackling each and see if they line up with where you see yourself financially, socially, and philosophically 10 or 20 years from now. The only way you'll change your unhappiness is to motivate and make change happen.
Let me know how you progress.
