life help: Need sense of direction, - Help.com

Need sense of direction,

I’m 26 working in a jewelry store sitting on my laptop trying to figure out my life. Ever since i was 21 I’ve never stayed in one place. I went traveling around the world to over 30 different countries and nothing really to show for it except for the experience.

Right now I just moved back with my parents, which is probably about the 10th time.
Everyone in my entire family has turned there heads away except for my parents.
My dad is over 60 and has been out of work for about a year. I don’t ask them for anything.

I don’t know what to do and where to start at this point. I find something I like and I really enjoy it for a month and slowly lose interest. I can’t seem to stick to one thing at all or stay in one place.

Time to go and get a education at DeVry and learn the skills you need. They teach both social and educational skills. You might learn something about yourself. Otherwise your wasting time/your life.

Hmm… it may be that you are the restless type and need the kind of job that keeps you moving? Sometimes I have found myself in the same situation and would wind up being the “jack of all trades - master of none.” LOL I finally settled with computer graphics, but I still have the itch to keep moving on - always restless. I have a friend like this too… he is ski instructor in the winter (travels to Switzerland), a travel writer in the summer and the rest of the year he is teaching geology.

Since you mention you are a traveler… this link may prove interesting to you? Maybe you can take your experience and make it work for you…
