What I want to be when I grow up...

There are several avenues I'd like to explore. I'd like to be an Event Planner. I'd also like to own a restaurant. Sometimes I want to go to grad school to become a counselor. About a year ago I considered going to nursing school. If I didn't have debt, I might go teach in another country. Other times I want to go work for some cool non-profit.

Do I even want to live in Denver? I miss the ocean.

Am I in the right occupation now...kind of doubt it actually. How do you know what job fits you best or do just know that something isn't right?

I know a couple things about myself and the type of career I'd like to have without knowing the specific field.

1. I hate to be micro-managed. I feel controlled and childish when this happens. The motivation for a job diminishes greatly if I feel like someone is watching my every move.

2. I like to be busy all the time. Fast paced is good. It keeps me focused, on task... and the time flies. My favorite days are when I have trainings and meetings scheduled back to back to back.

3. I like to be customer facing. I'm good with building relationships and articulating.

4. I like to be an expert at whatever I am doing. If I feel ill-equipped, I feel inadequate, which then leads to a feeling of failure.

I need answers. Those are my must haves. Help.
