You sound like an introvert. With a degree in Physics, have you considered consulting as a profession? Flexible hours, pick and choose the jobs you want to take, no ';boss'; to answer to so you can be yourself without having to toe the company line. You may have to travel occasionally to meet with a client. WIth all your listed skills, creating your own website to advertise your skills isn't a stretch. Also, there's no need to limit yourself to one area of expertise, and there are companies out there that act as ';agents'; for freelancers. Good Luck!Some Likes and Don't Likes: What is the Best Career For me? (Need Career Advice)?
Wow, how old are you? like 60? Didn't you like any of the things you have already done?





There is a book out there that I read/did right when i got out of college, it might not be applicable to you, but give it a whirl..





It's called ';What color is your parachute?'; and it helped my focus in a single direction instead of becoming a ';jack of all trades and master of none';.





It's not for everyone, but it sounds like you are all over the board with various work experience..





Best of luck to you..
I think Burger King would make a great home for you...good pay, benifits and a retirement package...Very little stress and a lot of cool young people to meet..





Burger King is the Place to be...Apply with in....
