Ask HN: Have you found your passion yet?
I have been a follower for this community for more than a year now and I probably have learned a lot just by following community. Being a big fan of Steve Jobs, I often find myself listening to his videos and they always force me to THINK :). When I graduated back in 2010, I didn't think about my passion, all I needed was a resource to pay my bills.
Now that I am a little settled, when I came across his famous speech (Stanford Univ.) again, I realized that I am 28 and I don't know my passion yet. I am not ashamed of it but I does makes me worry some times. I have worked in different industries…and I mean totally different. My profile goes with Mechanical Engg. background (field experience of 2-3 years), an year stint handling Accounts payables @ Bio Fuel trading startup (crazy times ;) but I loved it) and (currently) working as a Integration Consultant for a fortune 500. (mostly developing data integration solutions within enterprise (A2A)), I don't know where exactly my passion lies. I can get very very good (if not exceptional) references from every place I worked. So that also doesn't help me figuring out what am I good at.
Can this community share their experience on finding their passion?
Apologies for the long post. Your feedback will be much appreciated.
PS The only thing that currently excites me is analytics/data science & that's purely because of my inquisitive nature, I feel that I would enjoy in that field.
