I really hear ya on this. I’m struggling through the exact same scenario. I have a lot of learning and life experience behind me but I just don’t know what I want to DO for my life.

I know this comment is way late, but: Hi! I think we might be the same person. I have a really difficult time finding something I like and continuing to like it for a long time, too. Or, more recently, I’m having a hard time figuring out what the hell I want/like/need to do at all. Bah. But yay for recognizing the need to make something stick. And here’s to all of us 20somethings figuring that shit out sometime soon.

You sound like an ENTP. Google it. ENTP. You might learn a thing or two about yourself.

maybe you should do a wedding blog. this is your only opportunity unless you get married again. You can get some free stuff. only 7 months to go. then after that you can make the wedding blog into a book. i don’t think it’s been done before. wow, what a great idea. lol

Don’t say things like this. . . your career is more solid than mine is! 28 and done with the “exploration stage”. . . psshh (that’s a sound of annoyed indifference, by the way)!

Hey, I think it’s perfectly okay to find a passion, actually achieve the goal and then move on. Maybe it’s that excitement that fuels your work and makes it great? I don’t think you necessarily have to stay in one area for a long time.

Btw, glad you spoke up about the wedding blogs. There are way too many of them and they all re-post the same stuff.

Yes, yes. I think I’ve been reading too many mean comments on cnn’s political ticker. Sorry Todd!

Kristan, Nina: Pretty sure Todd’s comment was a joke =)

Hmm, I don’t know Todd, but I took it as a joke comment rather than a mean one…

‘Cause I’m semi-the-the-same way. I know I want to be a writer, but I haven’t been able to stick with a novel long enough to make it good. Why? Eh, lots of reasons, but mostly after I work on something for a long enough time, I get bored of it.

So I need to work on that. But like you, I’m in the right field, just haven’t found the right story.

And my okay-it’s-been-a-while-I’m-bored-now-ness doesn’t affect my interpersonal relationships. I’ve been with the same guy for 4.5 years, and I’ve had the same friends for 2-24 years (depending on when I met them), and I’ve had the same parents for 24 years… Clearly people are not affected by this boredom thing.

Which is why I assumed Todd’s comment was a joke. If it’s not, poo on him, but it’s nothing to worry about in reality, I don’t think.

Have you thought about the trend to why you got bored with all of these jobs?
