[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No matter what job I do I get bored and apathetic after a couple years. I think something will be interesting and that I will enjoy it but that feeling never lasts. I have gone back to school twice and done career shifts only to be just as bored and unengaged in the new job/field (education, health, social services, academia). I have really lost all ambition to work and while I put in time, I no longer put in good effort or produce quality work. Years ago this would have bothered me immensely but now I don't even seem to care - another problem in itself. I have a strong and varied skill set, good people skills and come across as a leader so I have had many opportunities and promotions but can never seem to find that job that I actually enjoy. Everything becomes drudgery. When people ask me what my passion / dream job would be, I tend to think of doing something very altruistic and humanitarian - but not something that is realistic or practically doable. Given my history I could probably be given the job of ending child poverty and get bored and tired of that in a couple years too!

Anyone else never find their niche or really have a passion or interest?[/quote]

At this point, I work to make money and get health insurance. Not to have a fulfilling career. Counting the years until retirement...about 33 more to go!  :evil: [/quote]
