A good friend of mine is a skydiving instructor, and he says the daily adrenaline rush is just out of this world, of course it took him a few years to get where he is, but i wouldn’t mind jumping out of planes at 15,000 feet for a living!

i cant think of much more exciting jobs…

Read “What color is your parachute?” by Richard Bolles.

Essentially:

- write out your top ten proudest accomplishments
- identify the skills you used, the people you liked working with, the industry/gadgets you liked using in those accomplishments
- look for jobs that combine those skills/people/industry/gadgets
- find people in those jobs and ask them for 10-15 minute coffee chats to discuss their career path
- if you like what you hear, ask to job shadow or volunteer in their work
- if you like that, then pursue the steps they took to get where they are… school or whatever
