Thanks for all the replies here. I'm definitely aware that not everyone finds a work passion in life where they get up every morning enthusiastic and raring to go. I guess finding something I'm good at that I can tolerate doing on a daily basis is what I meant by "passion". Clearly, I'll never be a professional footballer (my true passion since a young age ![[Image: blush.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/blush.gif)
) or anything along those lines so maybe "calling" would have been a better choice of words.
Getting out and trying different things is all well and good, but two issues:
1) I have no clue where to start. Nothing stands out above anything else, even after years of research into all the different occupations/work out there. All I know is my intelligence isn't numerical or scientific based, which eliminates a lot of the best options eg. Engineering, Medicine, Accounting, Computer Science. I have the most common set of skills, which suit humanities/social sciences/the useless business majors, and that makes finding a career that's tolerable, realistic, decent-paying and has good job prospects a difficult task. Like I said, I see Business (Management, marketing), psychology and law as my only options for solid "careers that match my skills, but I can't afford to make the wrong move again.
2) I don't have the luxury of time to waste experimenting, being mid 20's and already losing so many years persuing a career I didn't end up wanting. If I need to go back to university, I need to get started NOW. I'm not sure what I could possibly do without further education to be honest. Education is a very pigeonholed degree so isn't very adaptable to other areas. Starting an online business isn't on the radar right now. I want a purposeful career, not just a source of income.
