Ask HN: How do you find out what you want to do?
How do you find out what you want to do with your life? Where should you take your career? What are you absolutely best at? What makes you happy? What are you passionate about? How do you find all of that out?
And don't say "it's whatever you're passionate about." How do you discover what your passion is?
Personally, I'm currently working as a developer building mobile apps with titanium. I don't know if I would rather be developing for web or mobile - they're both interesting with their own pros and cons. I'm also not sure my personality suits development the best, although I love technology and the abilities it brings us. Sitting at a desk for 40 hours rarely talking to people isn't my favorite thing in the world. I like interacting with people, writing, traveling, some coding, and teaching.
I've thrown around ideas about consulting, product management, and startups but am at a standstill. I would love to talk to people in those positions to see what their life is like and if I would fit in in their job. Where can I do that?
