Mid-life Crisis ...

Blah ... is this a midlife crisis? Hopefully I'm not at "midlife" and I can figure out what I want to do in life. My job is just not cutting it these days, I feel underappreciated and totally unmotivated. I would quit my job in a heartbeat but I don't want to be sitting at home twidling my thumbs waiting for an interview. I could quit and go back to school but for what ... I have to decide. Do I want to stay in Marketing or maybe venture to another career field. I thought it would be a fun waste of time to take some free career tests online and these are the results:

People with blue Interests like job responsibilities and occupations that involve creative, humanistic, thoughtful, and quiet types of activities. Blue Interests include abstracting, theorizing, designing, writing, reflecting, and originating, which often lead to work in editing, teaching, composing, inventing, mediating, clergy, and writing.

People with yellow styles perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is orderly and planned to meet a known schedule. They prefer to work where things get done with a minimum of interpretation and unexpected change. People with a yellow style tend to be orderly, cautious, structured, loyal, systematic, solitary, methodical, and organized, and usually thrive in a research-oriented, predictable, established, controlled, measurable, orderly environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.
