I am a governess with an education degree. I love it, but...

I also want to be a...
Jazz Singer (have the training, head shots, demo)
Novelist (have 2 written and copyrighted, but not published)
Interior decorator (just design doll houses, and my own)
Rabbit breeder (have 4 rabbits and 1 chinchilla and a farm with
huge barn and 6 stalls)
Advertising Consultant (I am very creative, and constantly
critique commercials/ads)
Manager of ANY business (I am ultra organized, and a planner
A lawyer (I have always been fascinated by law, and worked
as a volunteer legal advocate for abused women.)
Domestic Abuse Shelter starter/owner (I volunteered and
worked at one as a casemanager for 2 years)

Anyone reading this probably thinks I am manic or something, but I have a tone of interests, and talents. I want to do it All, but in this society, you are supposed to pick ONE career. Grrr!

Any advice?
Any others who feel like me? ...like you want SO much, and it is not like you don't know WHAT you want to do, but that you want to do SO MUCH, that it is hard to pick a direction?

I feel the same way, only I haven't done anything to pursue any of my interests. I never had the time or the money to do it. I dropped out of school because i couldn't pick a major. Even now, don't know where I would want to head to. I am interested in everything. Right now, I work as an office manager for a software development office. But I dream of being involved with animals or children or music therapy or marketing or movie sales or something exciting. I love computers, numbers, crafts, movies, children, animals. I once told a friend recently that I wanted to become a Flute playing accountant for a major children's movie studio and do animal and music therapy on the side. Okay, great, that includes two degress and a LOT Of money, which I don't have. So I sit back and do the same thing every day, which is fun but not rewarding. I'm good at it but it doesn't inspire me. How do you figure out what you want (see my "dreams" post? Once you figure it out, how do you go after uit when you have no money????
