I have this extreme problem with deciding what to do with my life. So many interests and things I want to do, so little time and energy to do them. One week I want to be a professional pastry chef and own a bakery, another day I want to teach art to kids. I have dozens of open projects and ideas written down but nothing concrete. What is wrong with me?? Anyone else feel this way?

Oh, absolutely on the projects thing! It drives me nuts. It especially bugs me that my job is 8 hours of programming a day, and that's 8 hours I can't spend pursuing other interests, not to mention I find it difficult to pursue independent programming projects.

I've started to think that I don't want to program as a long term career, but can't decide what else to do. I want to do something meaningful with my life, you know? But for now, it's a living, I guess...
