Hi, im jared. I'm like a jack of all trades , i can basically build a house from the ground up, do mechanics, repair any electrical device, 2d/3d graphic design, html,xtml and im working on learning major types of programming but having trouble.
Although it may seem good to have all this knowledge, its not.... its very hard to decide on a specific career choice that will make me happy cause doing any one of the above mentioned trades gets tedious and boring.I have no high school education and am completley self taught so i cant even really get a job in any one of the mentioned fields.

Hey don't worry. In my experience I met few guys who are exceptionally excellent without any educational qualifications.
If you can spend many hours in-front of the computer and concentrate on solving a problem for days then computers/programming is a good choice for you.

According to your abilities, it seems web programming/web design may match your desires. (just a guess)

Web programming: Some interesting subjects are php/mysql/html/javascript/xml.
Believe me all these are very simple. Also, you don't have to be 100% on each. You can just search the net whenever you are stuck.

Web design/Graphic design: This field is based on inborn talent. Having a PhD has no value if the design looks worst for others. :)

If you can do web programming/design, you can start your own web business. Provide domain name registration, hosting and web site design all in one place. Just an idea for you to think. You can start by making a site to one of your friends for a reasonable fee, etc... :)

Whatever you start, give it your 100%. Life is too short to professionalise everything.
