I answered that here........ http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=98398

My history is I was a golden child at everything I did.... Navy, Stockbroker, Convience Store manager, Pizza business manager then owner..... each time I showed promise when I started would be taken under superior's wings and would burn out. But I went through the motions, never had my heart in the job.

The reason was I had no love for what I did. The money was there, the promise of a better future financially but no reward for me as a person or individual. I felt just part of a system.

For me as you can see by the diversity, I tried a little of everything, but now I am the most content mentally and spiritually I have ever been with myself and my profession. I have a passion for what I do.

My advice to you is to find your passion and conquer it, be the best you can be at it. you'll realize the job is right for you when you find it (the job) is not work but a part of your life that you want and need.

I truly hope you find it, because there is no better feeling in the world, knowing people respect your work and trust your opinion.
