Answering my cousin's blog post...The dropout syndrome is apparently hereditary.
What do you do if you fear you are not a 20-year stint in same industry kinda person, but you are also too ambitious and broke and bored to start at the bottom again every time you change your mind?
Keep moving - preferably up as well as across, write a blog, try to recognise your own patterns, develop a lot of transferable skills, get really good at finding connections & middle ground between industries, stay in touch with all your interests while you're pursuing the chosen one of that time, take all the passion and energy and fear that comes from the jumps you make and use them to make progress quickly because time is the one thing your restlessness probably won't let you have.
And when your feet start itching again, as inevitably they will, wonder if you should push through that feeling and actually stick with something this time, know deep down that you just can't, take a deep breath, think 'here we go again' and hope for the best.
