blind purpose

So the point of this thing is to figure out what I want to do with my life. Find a new career, a new goal, a new purpose.

For starters, I have led a pretty amazing life.
  • I'm 22
  • I've traveled a lot for both work and pleasure
  • I am the second youngest manager at a fast growing entertainment lighting company
  • I obtained a college degree 3 months after my 20th birthday
  • I have worked some really interesting jobs
  • David Copperfield, Ringling Brothers Circus, Lightspace Dance Floor, etc.
  • I used to be really into photography and film
  • I attended Hofstra University for a year in an attempt to pursue a film career (realized it wasnt for me)
  • I have never been a girly girl and can hold my own in a male dominated industry

After almost 2 years of working in a warehouse, starting as a lowly cable roller and working my ass off to get to be the manager of the dock. And its not a small task. 13 bays, an inbound side capable of holding 5+ semi trucks worth of gear, outbound side with a 4+ semi capacity, sales/consumables area, shipping/receiving area for FedEx and UPS shipments, managing part time and temporary labor, keeping a rolling inventory, working with various computer programs like HITS and Business Visions, and the list seems like it never stops. I have learned, I frankly just don't want to do it anymore.

It is not worth the money they are paying me, when I can't even pay my bills, which aren't that many. I don't see any sort of future with the company even though overall I do enjoy working for them. And with other issues in life, it is too much stress and not enough fun. I need fun in my life.

so. that being the back story and the problem, I need to find a solution. posts to follow will include, issues I need solved, possible job ideas, needs, wants, likes, dislikes. Who knows. If you have any ideas, no matter how off the wall or stupid they could seem, please tell me, I am open to all ideas. Seriously.
