Drinking a Beer at the Exotic Paradise that is My Grandparents House

I've narrowed my Amazon wish list to 150 items, I'll have it at 100 by the end of the night. I'm really wondering what kind of career I should pursue when I get back to MN. I've got a little talent and skill at a bunch of things, but I don't know what I want to do as a profession. It would be nice if there were like a 1000000 question quiz I could take that would place me square in a profession. I would rather be wondering what it's like without my profession than wondering what the heck I'm trying to accomplish.

I think I would like something with a lot of crunch. Like film, or construction, or something like that where there is always a bunch to do. I really enjoy working on the computer too, and doing what I'm doing, so maybe I'll continue pursuing that. I just wish I had a better idea of how everyone else uses the computer and the internet, so that I would be better equipped to sell to the Internet crowd.

Every time I ask "what does the public think of shopping on the Internet?" I draw a blank and think there is some kind of stigma that comes with computers, and there is...There's a bunch of raunchy stuff on here, and a bunch of dead ends, and a bunch of headaches...but then again; how is that different from any other career??? I keep telling myself that this is some sort of matrix that I'm a slave to, and that's partially correct, but it's what I know, it's what I do, it's a very big part of my life...I barely feel at home without a computer in front of me, and I wonder is that a good or a bad thing, I wonder if there's some sort of magical spell that might make me at home as a rancher or an architect, or a baseball player.
