I thought you were a maths person so maybe the perceived triumphs of the industrial revolution not so great for you in this spot. Also the recipe for tea is of a limited nature and not one that would stimulate your imagination too greatly.
I think i remember reading that you are only 23. Maybe try something that involves travelling, possibly volunteer work abroad ?
I don't know if what i have said is of any use but try not to get too down in this situation and gl to you !

Best advise I can give you is look through the local magazine for jobs, then go in and meet them in person wearing a suit. 1st impressions are the most important and if you have bothered to dress up in a suit and physically go and see them your already half way there.

I’m going to risk a serious answer...

I’ve always found it best to be proactive rather than reactive. In other words, rather than thinking “Who would employ me? What skills can I offer them? How can I get an income?” it’s far better to ask yourself “What would I love doing every single day?” In my case, that meant playing with my willy an awful lot, but I’m sure you’ll be more adventurous.

This may lead you to starting your own business and becoming the master of your own destiny. Exciting, no?

I see far too many people embarking on a career to find a job, and that saddens me, it’s too easy to consign yourself to a life of mediocrity (let me know if I’m getting too preachy and I’ll crank it down a notch). What you really need to do, is start a passion. Do that, and you’ll never work a day in your life – and you’ll get paid. If it’s not clear yet, my view is to relentlessly pursue a good quality of life at every opportunity. Grab life by the throat... that kind of idea.

To be fair, I’ll bet the above hasn’t even begun to really answer your question, so I’ll add something more pragmatic. I’m guessing that the ‘problem’ you’ve got (and it’s a nice problem), is that there is too much choice: so many jobs, businesses and industries out there, that you have absolutely no idea where to start.

In this case, you need ideas – and plenty of them. Here’s a start:

1. Go to the biggest WH Smith you can find, and buy loads of magazines (please stay away from the top shelf, that’s my department). Take things from the business section, ads papers, or anything that takes your eye – especially if they have a recruitment section at the back. Buy certain newspapers on certain days that have Jobs & Careers supplements. You’re just looking for ideas here, something that fires you up.

2. Do online searches for trade and industry shows. The reason I say this, is that if you hit a London exhibition centre like Olympia or Excel for example, then you’d have one room, stuffed with business people, all offering different things and willing to talk. It’s a quick way of getting loads of ideas.

3. Talk to people and ask questions, like you’re already doing. But broaden things out; search out business forums, join network meetings, breakfast meetings in your area – anywhere where there are business people. Get your face out there, and mop up ideas. Be a sponge, and use your ears in proportion to your mouth. Listen and absorb...

In summary, it’s sometimes overwhelming to find a direction. The more directions you explore, the more ideas, and ironically, the more focussed you become... you discard what you don’t like, and funnel down to what really floats your boat. This is especially crucial at such a young age; don’t just fall into a job to pay the bills. Before you know it, you’ll be forty, fat and smelly. A lot like me, in fact.

Having said all of that, I still think Mr. Miyagi’s idea of flogging your tadger carries a lot of merit. 

Whatever you decide, the very best of luck.

If the job you have with your mum is your families business you could perhaps put your heart and soul into it and motivate yourself into playing a big part in making it a fantastic success that you can play a main part of running and sharing the profits with your family. Try and get different resposibilities within the firm you work for already that do interest you.

The grass might not be greener working for a slave driving, ungrateful, unreasonable bird brain who won't give you a day off and expects you to work for nowt.

Perhaps you are not motivated in your current job because you are not working as hard as you should?

Good luck for the future m8.

Accountancy maybe?
