Truth11: Perhaps if you just spell out what you need help on...someone in this forum might be able to help you out...or at least direct you to the right career counselor. If I knew what exactly is this new direction you're searching for....I just might be able to help.

That's the thing that people go to counselors for...to find a new direction.

I took that evaluation right after high school,and that brought me to my first career in radio which ended in the late 90s and yes I've thought about it again but times have changed and other considerations...

As for my other hobbies,I've examined that as well and unfortunately none have any real financial reward so I am basically just searching around for what's available and pays halfway decent...

Everything is available. What do you consider "halfway decent" pay?

You can try these career counselors. However, you'll probably get the same mileage by doing keyword searches on indeed.com based on your qualifications and city.

I wouldn't hire you. You seem to have no plan or passion about anything.

Was it the evaluation done by Johnson-O'Connor Aptitude test, Aptitude Testing at the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation ? It's one of the top tests used for determining natural strengths as opposed to interests.
