I was always really interested in gems and minerals, but admiring them isn't a job, and photography in that field is insanely specialized and not exactly a reasonable goal to shoot for, so I never got that degree...

I was also always really interested in astronomy, but there's literally no work in that field at all so I didn't go for the degree...

I never "found myself" because all of my interests either has you working for "the enemy" or there just weren't any jobs to be had. Now I'm stuck working in a factory and I have an upcoming job that's for the Israeli military....
