Well, I must say that I've had a large variety of jobs. Everything from retail store salesperson, to vallet, carpet cleaner, fast food, data entry, sports marketing/operations, and electro-mechanical technician.

After experiencing all these different jobs, I can tell you that I definitely do not enjoy a job where I have to interact with "customers". I mean, I can do it, I would just rather not have to make an effort to please people I don't even know, or like some sales people, act fake to get the sale.

I'm more of a project, hands on/physical type person. I prefer a job that is different from day to day and does not get monotonous. Something where I am mostly responsible for managing myself and only have to check in with my boss every so often. I'm a natural problem solver and compromiser.

My current job as a technician pretty much is described by the above paragraph. So you could imagine that I love my job. Only problem right now is my company lost some customers and went through a lay-off period, so things are a little hectic.

I think you need to categorize yourself as to what type of person you are and that might help. you mentioned you've taken tests. Have you tried the Myers-Briggs personality test? I think if you can see what kind of person you are on paper, you can find a job that is better tailored to you.
