Is there a place for this or, I don't know, method? I imagine people don't just pull a career choice out of a hat and decide that, "this one, it is." Besides, I already fail one career--can't get a job. Now if I am going to build another one, I really need to be very careful this time around so I don't fail again.

College, life experiences/circumstances, friends, family, age, gender...a bunch of things assist people in choosing their career, for the most part at least. But if you are trying to search for your passion in the career setting, I would suggest going back to college if you're not. Imo that's the best way to figure out what you like and what you don't like.

For me, I never really wanted to do nursing until I started working in the hospital which eventually made me do it. Aside from nursing, I LOVE to learn about the mind (psychology). It's very interesting how it works, but I chose to stick to nursing (and of course it has higher job availability and pay haha)
