Help me find my perfect career!?
I'm struggling with finding a career that truly plays to my strengths. I know that no matter what job I have, work is going to be tough at times. However, my past jobs have left me feeling unfulfilled and, honestly, bored. Here's a list of my strengths, experience, and interests - can you help me find the perfect career path?
Interests/Passions:
- Creativity
- Entrepreneurship
- Finding solutions to tangible problems that directly help people.
- The freedom to think outside the box and find new solutions.
- Directly helping other people in some way, specifically by solving problems for them.
- A varied work environment (not sitting at a desk all day, or in a room all day.)
- Project-based work, rather than hours-based work.
- A position that requires high level of responsibility and leadership.
- Leading a team, and/or working independently.
- My merits are based on the solutions I create and the results of my work.
- Fast paced job environment.
Skills:
- Strong background working with people in public education and the justice system.
- Conflict resolution and crisis response
- Leadership and independence.
- Visionary thinking, big-picture minded.
- Quite a bit of experience working with my hands (construction and auto mechanics.)
- Strong communicator (I have been a high school teacher for several years.)
Education:
- Master's degree in teaching
Willing to pursue other education if needed.
I've considered law, project management, city planning. Can't do medicine.

This is quite an impressive list of passions and skills but I have to wonder: for someone who is so entrepreneurial and visionary, and seemingly self-aware, why have you been unable to answer your own question? Surely you know yourself better than anyone else -- especially strangers on Yahoo Answers. I think you are far more capable of deciding your future than we are.
