It's been a while since this was posted but I'm wondering, jjgbirder, what ever happened with this? I'm going through something similar so I'm curious.

It took me 3 years of college before settling (and I do mean settling since I always said I never wanted to do this) on a career that I ended up going to grad school for. Now I'm finding that my mental health issues are getting in the way (among other issues) and I can't keep doing it. I'm now trying to figure out some other career.

The problem with finding a new career is that I like a lot of different things, I'm usually pretty good with them, and I'm as indecisive as possible. My mind keeps floating around with the possibilities: Something in the field of law? Helping those with mental illness? Administrative assisting? Something more in the field of science, like audiology/hearing aid-related jobs? Or maybe I can go back to school for my PhD in a science field (although I'm entirely self-taught and I have nothing on paper to prove my knowledge)? I can't decide.

My psychologist helped me narrow it down to something creative and advocating for people or animals. Now I just have to figure out what can fall in those categories that can be flexible enough to work with my issues....
