You're on the right track. The only way to find your talents is to keep searching. Eventually, you'll hit it. Personally, I've had a lot of fun trying out things for which I had little or no talent. I took journalism classes and worked as a reporter for a newspaper, I took piano lessons, art lesson, flying lessons, tried theatre, explored caves, dabbled in antiques, taught school, worked in restaurants, a bakery, a supermarket, factories, a bowling alley, worked as a painter, tried being a soldier, and any number of things I've forgotten. I never hit on anything where I succeeded 100%, and I found out that my talents were sometimes near zero. I always envy people like Henry Ford, Enrico Caruso, Tiger Woods, Jeff Gordon, John Glenn, Oprah Winfree, and Peter Jennings, because they found their tallent and went to the top. Few people succeed to that extent, but that's no reason to be discouraged. Keep searching.
