What If I Am Interested in Nothing?

I have many interests and talents and a wonderful education. I've done a lot in my life so far by the age of 25. However, I am working 2 bottom of the barrel jobs and it's not enough and I don't know what to do with myself. I know I could be making much more money in SOMETHING, but WHAT???

What do you do if you have no drive towards anything? I have been reading book after book of self help and career advice and they all seem to start after you already know what you want. Obviously it's easy to work for something you want. But I keep feeling like I don't want anything. I am so lost and don't know what to do.

Any tips? Thank you!

    This prob sounds stupid but you prob need to change your lifestyle. Idk if your a man or a woman but certain things pull you in the dumps. It is commonly believed that if you start being lazy, start drinking alcohol, whatever it may be it eventually leads you into having a bad job and ultimately becoming homeless. But sometimes I can't help to think what if it works backwards. My middle school life is a good example. In 6th grade I was a great student who consistently got straight A's , I was straight up little einstein, and I had huge goals. In 7th grade my grandpa got sick which made me a depressed wreck, so I was the equivalent of a grumpy 49 year old man, except switch the beer with soda, and the low end job for bad grades. But in 8th grade I made huge turn around but in a different direction, I started lifting weights, boosted my t levels, and became athletic and now I feel great. So if things are bad try switching things up, follow your dreams, and things can change.

    Its impossible that you don't enjoy anything. Find something you like. It doesn't matter what it is. Then just find a why to get money off of doing that. For example, if you like gaming, record it and put it on Youtube. In fact, you can make money off of most things in Youtube ;)
