Okay, first off I must say good reference to one of my ol' time favorite movies (in which I do currently own both the DVD and VHS version), and I too know how you feel.
When I was in high school, I sometimes would repeat that saying in my head because it seemed that almost all of my friends had their life and goals in perspective and there I was with too many ideas, but I had no clue on what to pursue because I could find way to many positive and negative points that each idea came down to the point of "Will it make me happy within myself that I will feel that my job was worth while doing?" and "Will I have the enjoyment of going to work because to me it feels like I do NO work at all because it's something that I take enjoyment in doing everyday?"
I have yet to finally decide on what the answers are to those questions, but so far with this new job I have, I do enjoy it very much and the time sure does fly by as of right now, but the enjoyment isn't there because I have to constantly stand because we aren't allowed to have seats to sit on behind the counter. (I work in a movie theatre, in the Box Office, or otherwise I sell all those expensive tickets and fix our polls with extendable straps whenever kids decide to play with them and leave them reeling back the strap so that there is a big gapping hole where people can just cut in line wherever they please.
Sorry it's so long, but you know me. Once I start typing, I can't shut up! ;-)
