Unable to find employment, as a last-ditch effort, I decided to take advantage
of the Vocational Rehabilitation program at the VA (Veteran's Administration).
I qualified for the program, which includes payment of tuition, books,
supplies, and a modest monthly stipend - all to the end of getting me into an
entry-level position in a career field that is fulfilling, challenging, and
appropriate for my disability. (My knees are injured from my short stint in the
Marine Corps). The problem lies in finding out what I want to DO.
So - why am I posting this here?
I've realized that I never knew what I wanted to do. I never knew who I really
was, and what role I desired. I just floated by on the river of life, and
grabbed whatever happened to drift by. Jobs for me were always a means to an
end...money. Now that I have a chance to find a fulfilling job/career, I find I
have no idea what I want. I was lost, and I didn't even know it.
Does anyone out there have suggestions on how I could reach a modicum of
clarity on this issue? I'm stumped. My natural instinct is to try to force an
answer - and when none comes, I get frustrated. I've tried a couple of tools,
the Myers-Briggs Personality test (INFJ), and the Temperament test (Theorist)
for some answers, but the "answers" were vague and elusive.
I'm truly stumped. :S
