The Search for the Job Continues

I have filled out over 25 applications with no job in sight.  People keep asking "What kind of job are you looking for?" For that answer I must refer to the great Lloyd Dobler.

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."

So, I want a career that impacts mankind.  Is that too much to ask?  I mean, am I wanting too much out of something that you do from 8-5?  I guess I am looking for that "dare to be great" situation.

Why is it so difficult for me to figure out what I want to do with my life?  I mean for most people that I talk to it isn't this difficult.
