Destiny Number 3 in business
You must consider your career path long and difficult. "Follow your passion" may seem like good advice, but the problem is that your passions change quickly, frequently and unexpectedly. Following your passion, today could lead to a job that means nothing to you tomorrow.
So the alternative path of choosing a skill set and working so hard to become the best isn't exactly ideal for you either.
Obviously, everyone's path will be unique, but you will be better served taking into account some things:
First, which common threads connect most of your past interests? Some are guided by art, some by humanitarian efforts, others by working with other people. There will be something that connects most of the things that you are passionate about, and you can make a plausible hypothesis that the work that involves this will be of interest to you in the future.
Second, look for a job that changes frequently. You are not fit to do the same job every day. The work that involves solving problems and puzzles can appeal - for example, coordination positions for the more social, or web development for the more technologically inclined.
Third, do your best to find a career that gives you some free time to pursue other interests. Contract or freelance work can be extremely attractive, since you can take breaks between projects to travel, volunteer, or pursue other interests. Being self-employed isn't always the best idea, though, because you may find that without someone sticking to your neck once in a while, the boring parts of the job might not be done on time ... or at all.
It is rare (and fortunate) for a 3 to have a job they are willing to dedicate their lives to for many years - most are happier when they have room to do other things.
Finally, look for work with people who have playful attitudes and an appreciation for your creative spirit. Working with a group of boring colleagues is even worse for many of us than doing a job you don't like. Good and exciting people can bring joy to even the most tedious tasks.
You will almost certainly want to spend some time experimenting with different career paths. While this is fine for a while, be careful of spending too much time experimenting. It's tempting to quit every job when it gets boring, but that won't serve you well in the long run, because even the best job will have boring days, and sometimes it's better to push them over than to start over.
