I have come to the realization I am great at nothing. While at the same time I am good at everything. Think jack of all trades if you will. I bring this up because I have been having trouble thinking about where I should go with my life, job, and hobbies. Which has lead me to a sort of depressing brick wall in which I have no clue what to do with my life.

However, I am starting to see the benefit of being the so called “jack of all trades”. For example, after my last week of learning how to use ableton live, I am fully able to record an HD video, create my own soundtrack and any graphic arts I might need. I am a one stop shop for making completed videos. I might not film the best video or create the greatest music but I can produce a solid 7 or 8 out of 10 quality production. Which opens a door for a side career. I have also come up with at least 8 different possible side careers where I am able to do 100% of the work. Which to me is an amazing accomplishment wether I do them or not.

So with all of these new found ideas and a short conversation with my friend Jeremy Lane, I have discovered what my real skill is. The ability to quickly learn and adapt to anything while not being hindered by past schools of thought and reasoning.

On the opposite side of things, this does present a problem. Staying at one job for a long period of time and furthering a single career is boring and difficult. How does a jack of all trades create the perfect working environment and thrive in the world, self employed?

On a side note, I will be in Washington this week, expect photography.
