Jan 23 2012: Fiorella, great question!! When I read it I was amazed by how accurate you describe what I'm thinking at this point in my life. I couldn't have said it better.
I haven't found any answers yet and the future doesn't look too bright for me, I'm in my second year at college, doing something that is really well-paid but I definitely do NOT like what I do and now I realized that the only reason I'm doing it is that I do not know what else to do. I have no idea what I like, what I'm good at (though this could probably be fixed by experiencing some other jobs) and I have no idea what to do next. The only 'acceptable' solution I found and the one I'm sticking to right now is to do what I have started already, until I get to that point in my life when I say "Stop!" and move on to something else, although starting from the beginning is not so intriguing.. Also I'm trying to read & listen to great people, great books and great stories, hoping that it will point me in a direction eventually. That's how I go this TED talk (which is amazing by the way).
Good luck with finding what you like and at doing it the rest of your life!
