I flit from field to field in work, but how do I find my passion?

Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?

Right from childhood I have had this habit of learning something in every field that is available. So I studied science in school, did accounting in college and pursued a master’s in business later.

I worked part-time at an HSBC contact centre, then in a government organisation in marketing and now in an educational institute as a teaching assistant in the area of organisational behaviour.

As you can guess, I am really worried about where I am going in my career. I do really want to find my passion. I feel like I am passionate about everything initially, then I come out of that very quickly. So what to do now?

Do you need advice on a work issue? For Jeremy’s and readers’ help, send a brief email to dear.jeremy@theguardian.com. Please note that he is unable to answer questions of a legal nature or to reply personally.
