Hey Everyone! I just turned 26 years OLD and still don't really know what I want to do. I have a few ideas such as; owning my own business, going back to school to get my Master's, or flight school (if I could afford it). I currently work for a state government agency examining mortgage companies that does allow me to travel around the country. The travel is nice, but not being home is starting to wear me down. This job is OK, but it's not for me as there is NO mental stimulation, no challenges, and I feel as though I'm wasting my time and talents just being here. I'm to the point now that when I get up in the morning, I dread it and tempt myself to just call in sick and when I do show up, I work really slow and end up surfing the web.
My question is this; how did you find what you really like to do? I know what my interests are, but I'm not sure how to go about finding a career that fits ME and my wants, needs, abilities, and talents. Any reasonable suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Cris P.

I have a similarly boring job but with no travel. I sit here like a dolt, screwing around most of the day.....it pays my bills and allows me to buy stupid stuff.
I think we have a thread similar to this every week or two..... Raptor will post how awesome his job is and the rest of us pretty say "welcome to the rat race"
Ideally we would all have jobs helping people or creating new products or golfing or driving race cars...... but unfortuntely someone has to count beans, make beans, sell beans, ship beans, etc.....
Goodluck......

Let's start with your education. What is your degree in?
