It's wholly reasonable not to know what work one should perform. And it is indeed often a great sign of maturity to realise that one doesn't know, rather than suffer any longer under the punishing assumption that one should.

Introduction
We've all been asked the question: What do you want to do with your life? Some have known the answer since childhood, others figured it out sometime later, and many of us are still searching.
