I never relied on any of those tests.

What I truly love I found through life experiences.

I like my current job, don't get me wrong. I found it fulfilling and pay has been good. Not a millionaire but paid the bills and had a roof over my house. Never dreaded going to work like I might have had I taken a customer service or clerk job.

But that is not what I truly love.

What I love to do is to travel. I love visiting foreign countries. If I could do something related to that and get paid a good salary, I'd be golden. But nothing like being a flight attendant or the like, more like writing blogs and reviews.

Fear of the unknown.

Comfort zone of a steady job and paycheck.

I'm at that age where you're staring at the rest of your life and it's all downhill, and worry about retirement.

All the good available job are/will be in health care. Most health care workers are happy because jobs that help people make you happy. Get a physical/occupational therapist assistant degree (2yrs) to get started.

Save up hardcore, quit, go travel and meet people and see what happens. Online and reality aren't the same, not even close.
