Finding out what you like doing

[okgo]

I always find myself here every year or so, I get myself to a stage where I like what I do, I don't dread work, and there are prospects I suppose (although not sure management would be for me so options are somewhat limited) but I just don't care about it. I regularly look around at other things to see if anything jumps out, and this probably has led me to have a few jobs in totally different sectors (albeit working in sales).

So what have you done to try and find a calling, or maybe even something that you're passionate about, something that you look forward to tackling each day.

I am lucky in some respects, I have got myself into one of the largest companies in the uk, although many jobs come up internally, how do I know it would work, and how would they know I would work etc...

I know I should be grateful of a job
And all that guff, but just wanted to see what others have done when they hit "meh"

I suppose that moving sideways is always possible, but would that hinder moving up over time?

That could well be it to be honest.

Regarding hobbies, I only really cycle these days and I don't know enough to have a business in it, and equally don't think I'd want to work with it.

Marketing is an interesting one, I've thought about it, and often wondered what the transition from sales to marketing is, but I've been put off by the lower pay, but I suppose that is always going to happen in the short term.

Why did you suggest marketing?

What is the correlation as you see it?
