abaya,
5-7 job changes in their lifetime? I'm 25 and on job #7 (only counting real tech jobs), does that mean I have to stay at this company for the rest of my life?
Anyways, I knew what I was going to do at the age of 12. I figured out that year that I sucked at baseball and should do something else. So, I started playing around with an 8088 in the basement, and rapidly decided that computers were my thing. It's not as nice as you would think, now that I have my own house and have my "final" career, the rest of my life is starting to look like it's just going to be a repeat of what has already been.
My advice, try to remember that a job is a job. Sometimes it's enough to just like your job. That's why you have hobbies, and time when you aren't working. Also, there's nothing wrong with changing career paths totally mid-stream. However, if you are waiting for that job that makes you want to wake up in the morning and be excited to go to work every single day, you're probably never going to find it.
Just my advice, take it or leave it.
