I don't know how much of a comfort it is, but I know how you feel. Or relate at least. I envy those people who have a calling, or a drive, or whatever it is you'd call it. My interests spin around like a compass on the back of a fly. I've been through two schools, three majors, and seven jobs since graduating in 2001. I currently have two jobs.
I guess the best stab at advice I can give would be do your best to find fuel in work situations as motivation for finishing school. I'm finding that I'm much more numb to discontent, embarrassment, and performing tediously stupid tasks and when I'm able to school again I can bring up my memories of Fry's, or Wendy's, or Fry's, or Northwest IT, or Fry's to scare off procrastination when nothing else will. Essays are my bane, and I'd write a 10 page paper on Novascoshian dung beetles in a weekend if it would get me in to a decent job. I really dislike phone support, but I would do almost anything to stay away from a retail environment. BUT, I would do absolutely anything to ensure Lorelai's happiness... luckily I found my second job working doggy daycare.
