“Do you have so many different interests and passions the concept of settling into one career always felt awful to you?
If so, do you recognize yourself in these descriptions?
You are…
…Afraid you’ll either have to settle into a career and stick with it for life (boring!). Or, pursue your many, unrelated passions that will leave you penniless and unable to support your family.
…Well beyond your college years but still clueless about what you want to be when you grow up. You feel like something is wrong with you.
…Often described as a Jack-of-all-trades, master of none. You are quickly excited about many, completely unrelated topics, but you may lose interest just as quickly.
…Someone with a zest for life and a love of new experiences and learning for the sake of learning.
…Very successful in your field, but bored to death and looking to change directions – again. To the horror and disbelief of those around you.
If this sounds like you, chances are, you are frustrated. Or worse; you are desperate because you can’t seem to “get it together.” It’s even possible, in your attempt to keep your options open in order to satisfy all your different interests, you make no choices at all. You know you have all this potential but lots of it is going unused.
If you’ve ever felt as if something was wrong with you for your inability to stick with a passion, a hobby, an interest, or job, or even a career; take heart. You are completely normal!”
