Practical advice needed, due to the fact I keep changing my mind about my career. Right now I've just come back from a trip abroad, which I enjoyed immensely, and am getting itchy feet again.

I would in an ideal world love to do something with art/crafts, but art takes so long to make and unless it is highly commercial there is very little return. Apart from that I need some intellectual stimulation and am interested in so many things (botany, geology etc). I want to try and get a group of people together to go to Papua New Guinea/Solomon Islands next year, for example.

This next month I feel I need to focus but not rush into anything as I've burned cash before on worthwhile but cash-hungry ventures. In fact I would do better if I just did nothing at all - but I can't do that. I can't see the right way. What do I do? Do I pull out all the stops or do I just let life carry on? I'm 32 and have several talents, am told I am smart across a wide range of disciplines, but can't decide, for the life of me, between art and academia, for example (and no, don't tell me it's my Mutable Grand Cross - this is a broadly non-astrological question).

Help.

WEll no one can make this decision for you, we dont' know enough about you or your life.

Weigh the pros and cons of various decisions on paper.

Try a self help book on making decisions.
