So, as I've probably said before: It is a REAL problem to be smart and talented because then you could do so many things you can't pick one. This is true. One way to decide and go in a direction is to decide: a. what you could be or are passionate about (most of us can't), and... ...what would also work with the life you have and want. b. Write the story-outline of your life from the age of 90 backward and see who you were and how it worked out and how you did it. This can work by shaking something loose. c. Most of us start somewhere, work hard, and wind down some paths that accidentally take us to a place we're ok about. If you like how that sounds, do it. Don't be afraid, you are loved.
