Hi cooljd,

You may enjoy the book "What Color is Your Parachute for Teens":
Amazon.com: What Color Is Your Parachute for Teens: Discovering Yourself, Defining Your Future (What Color Is Your Parachute for Teens): Books: Richard Nelson Bolles,Carol Christen,Jean M. Blomquist
It gives a lot of good advice on goal setting and career choices.

You can also read the version of "What Color is Your Parachute" for adults, since you sound like a mature individual:
Amazon.com: What Color Is Your Parachute? 2007: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers (What Color Is Your Parachute): Books: Richard Nelson Bolles

I also like the writings of Marshall Brain, a multimillionaire and successful businessman who wrote the book "The Teenager's Guide to the Real World"
