> then move onto the next shiny thing that catches my eye. This works as long as that next shiny thing is something that brings value/money or is at least compatible with your career goals. That's often the case in our field of work, but it's not a given. I'm also a "jack of all trades" and it usually works out great for me, but I'm pretty sure that I was one non-lenient enough manager away from getting fired several times in my life. This wouldn't work so well if I wasn't working in a field that observes workers economy. |

Yep, I know that all too well. Took about 4-5 years after high school (and dropping out of several colleges) before I found some sort of traction in my life, otherwise I was just swinging and missing, so to speak, over and over learning new things that often didn't materialize in any substantial progress. Then the shiny new thing was starting a business, which failed, I became homeless for a few months, worked food delivery to get back on my feet, then the shiny new thing for ~1-2 months was marketing, which as it turns out I really needed, now I'm working for a good company.
Another component to all this is probably that I'm just used to the ups and downs at this point and have learned to compensate for them reasonably well enough.
