Your blog is a definite feed. I myself have had a strange and joyous ride finding out what I want to do with my life and I'm still pondering. What I mostly want is to be a father to my family and do someone some good. Strangely although I am now in a less payed job (teacher) than I used to have (a salesperson for a bank) my money worries are much less fewer, and I think that is somewhat because with this job I really feel like I'm doing someone some good, not just selling overdraft. Thanks again, I will be reading more of your site. -Humi from Iceland Great site and a great series. Your blog is a definite feed.

You have some education and many interests to help guide you along a path. Perhaps the best option is to narrow down your interests and start targeting those for work. Sometimes landing an opportunity and getting some experience can help you further narrow your interests in the future. Trying a career today does not mean you cannot try something else later. :) I too am a jack of all trades, which can at times be frustrating if a particular path requires mastery skills. But on the whole I have found having a diverse background very advantageous. The key is to find where all your skills intersect. :) @hana To me it sounds like you are in an awesome position.

I am at the moment in a very bad position, with just some education and no paid work experience. I don't have much money, and been thinking gloomily about the future. Now after reading these, I happily feel there are many things I can do to get a job I love. The only problem seems to be I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. I just have too many interests and career paths I want to take are numerous. I wish I was born centuries ago, when there wasn't so much required to be something, and people just could be a mathematician, an astronomer, an artist etc. all at the same time!
