find work I'm passionate about

Pretty much the only work I’m passionate about is volunteer work. sigh

When I was younger I wanted to be a singer. I went to university to be a primary/elementary teacher but quit. Then I went to college and completed the Office Adminstration program. I now have a full time permanent job in an office. Some days I like this job, other days I’m bored to tears and desperately want something more challenging. I am lucky enough to be able to take one university course for free every term. I’m slowly working towards a Criminology certificate but is that what I really want? Who knows? Not me. Even though I have a permanent job I will not be in this position until I retire. By the way, I’m 23 and have been working at this job for less than 2 years. I feel like I’m meant to do something else, I just don’t know what that something else is yet. I can’t take the risk to leave my job until I know exactly what I want. I don’t know when that will be. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I hate my job because I don’t. I just don’t look forward to going to work anymore. Oh my…..

I suppose I should be more specific in this. My day job isn’t awful – it’s boring and repetitive, but it makes me enough to live on, and my work environment is pretty great. The problem is it feels meaningless, and I want my days to be spent in a way that feeds my soul as well as my bank account. Writing could be that thing, but there’s so much pressure involved in publishing that I’m not sure I could (or would want to) write full time without losing my love for it. I have this feeling, deep down, that there’s something I should be doing—Work as well as work.

Would be nice to find something that challenged me and I looked forwarded to doing every day.

My name is Noa and I’m 26 years old.
I’m working on finding a work that i’m passionate about for the last 2 years.
I have Bsc in biology and now I’m working in a dealing room in the back office and I hate it.
I worked in a democratic school last year and i study teaching but I dont want to be a teacher.
I have no idea of what i want to do!!
how do you deal with this feeling? what is this place anywy?

but this is the book i am reading right now:

http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=9780060823221

i have concluded that this is the greatest book ever written. i’m not talking great literature, but i am talking about philosophy. reading it makes me feel like what i want to do (say screw it all) is truly possible.

I am a mentor to youth offenders. It is rewarding knowing I have helped a young person improve their lives, have better self esteem and build bridges with the love ones they sometime hurt. The best part of all is helping them to see that a life of crime is no life and that they do have choices.

I have a lot of opportunity at my finger-tips. A chance to contribute to cancer research. And I’m in a good place with good people. This is going to be my baby. It sucks that I have to travel nearly four hours a day to do it, but can’t change that.

This is no longer a goal… I’ve got it and I’m going to run with it.

No idea what i want
