You know, that is actually a tough one. I am 32 years old and I still haven't really figured it out!
I think my problem isn't that nothing interests me, but instead *lots* of things interest me. I tend to like the idea of more creative things (writing, art, etc) as well as research-oriented things (for some reason, I just love research -- I just love to dig deep into something and figure it out). I am not sure how that translates to a job though.
Being an introvert, I tend to prefer to work autonomously (so I can better immerse myself without interruption) and with little social contact (things such as phone jobs horrify me). On the other hand, sometimes I am drawn towards teaching (though I feel a bit too shy for that), which defies that model.
I tend to usually do well at things I apply myself to, but I am still looking for that avenue that fits my personality best. Hopefully I'll figure it out someday. Until then, I just want to learn and grow and experience what life has to offer me.
