A Drawback of Being a Jack of All Trades

I'm what people might call a Jack of All Trades. I'm anywhere from reasonably competent to pretty good at just about everything I try. While this may seem like a good thing (and it is, for the most part) it has certain drawbacks.

The largest of these drawbacks is something that works in tandem with another part of my personality. Having not really found anything to be passionate about career-wise (due either to apathy or finding contentment easily) and being able to do just about anything means that I have no freaking idea where I'm headed in life. Like, none. I've got so much potential but I have no idea where to invest it. It's mildly overwhelming. That and the fact that I am quite easily content with a (comparatively) simple life makes figuring out what the heck I'm gonna do with my life very difficult.  Sure, I've got unrealistic/fantasy dreams (like becoming a blacksmith, I think that'd be pretty great), but they are quite unrealistic indeed. Also, I'm really good at enjoying the work I'm doing regardless of what it is, so it doesn't really matter what I'm doing, at least for the time being and probably for a few years to come.

...well, I can't think of what else I was going to say. Ergo, c'est fini.

Cheers
