Answer 1

It seems to me that you are intelligent but you're not focused. Have you considered it that you might have ADHD? You seemed to be satisfied with a certain interest only for a short period of time and you keep on switching interest one after the other.  How about considering an assessment from an expert?

Answer 2

I can tell you are desperate and frantic. First things first, probably something you've been told before, but it is true and very important; breath. Take a  few slow, deep breaths from you diaphragm. Think of everything you have accomplished up until this point, everything you have done in just 24 short years of life. 1) You know your strengths. It takes some people a life time to figure out what they're good at. You already know, that's half the battle. You say you need help, but you just told us. You are a good people person. You are good at helping people. You are a good reader (lucky, I have always struggled with that). You are a good writer. You are a hard worker. You have a passion for fashion.2) You are a selfless person. You help poor people in your country by volunteering. 3) You have a job and support yourself. And it goes on. You need to finish the list. Once you do, tack it up in your room and read it everyday.

It sounds like you're dissatisfied with your current career. If you need help, why not try seeing a career counselor. They could give you some aptitude tests and some ideas as to where to go with your life. If that's not for you, might I suggest career cruising? http://www.careercruising.com/ You will go through a quick personality test, and it will generate career 50 results for you that you may enjoy. You will have to pay for it, but it is worth it.

If you wish to look more into ADHD (which I do not feel in neseary, unless you feel an inability to focus is impacting your life) go to you doctor. S/he will ask you a lot of questions and take a full history of your childhood. Here's a free screening test  http://www.oneaddplace.com/add-test.php?

Good luck with you quest!

Answer 3

There is a book named "What Color is My Balloon"  I can't remember the author...it sounds like it is for kids..but it isn't..it is to help choose careers and is very helpful...also a good place to go...does your company have an EAP?  If so they may help with Career Placement Testing..if not go to your local Mental Health Center...no, its not just for people having emotional problems..they help with stuff like this too...there are Psychologists that are trained to assess your strong points and interests and help you to identify where you would be a good fit.  It sounds like to me you are very people oriented and perhaps have a creative side...it may be that while you are good at office work it is not fulfilling part of you.  The book I told you about should be available at Amazon.com or any bookstore.

Answer 4
