I don’t think you want to have “a” role model, but a lot of them, and don’t look at famous people, try to find real people. Look at the people around you, pick and choose the best characteristics of theirs and let them be your role model for that one thing, you are an individual, and if you try to find a role model for your whole life you will only selling yourself short.
As far as a job goes, find any job, then keep looking for a better one if you don’t like that one, but get out there and get experience. When I finally got out of college I took what I thought was going to be a temporary job while I kept looking and sort of fell into a pretty good career.
There are no answers out there, just suggestions, each of us has our own path in life, you are going to have to find yours. I’m the king of insecurity but I haven’t let that stop me in life, sure it has slowed me down, but I have strengths to offset some of my weaknesses (we all do). Look inside yourself try to figure out where your strong points are, and try to leverage them to your advantage.
Your questions “Do I want to live to work or work to live? Am I analytical or am I problem solving or am I....” none of us can answer them for you, you have to answer them yourself. You are not alone in what you are going through, but being in the same situation as someone else doesn’t mean you should do what they do or did. You are a unique individual, and how you deal with things and where your life takes you, your choices those are what makes your life special.
