Short of FWW's advice, there used to be a popular book called What "Color Is Your Parachute" that led you thru some exercises. The result, if you could be honest with yourself, were several lists of your personality traits, likes and dislikes as far as what one would like in their ideal vocation or career. It may sound sort of corny, but I have used this tool previously with appreciable results. I don't know if it's the perfect job, but I've been here for 20 years and am not considering leaving. Finding out and compiling some honest and revealing information about yourself might help narrow the field for your search for the perfect job. I'm sure there's no bookstore that doesn't have a self-help section with books like these. For the cost of a $5.95 paperback, what could it hurt.
