I'm a 23 year old guy. Currently jobless and trying to figure out things for me. I've realised that I love fixing things.

By that I mean, I love making things better. I pay attention to the smallest detail in whatever I do. Be it cleaning my room, cleaning dust from CPU, I clean each and every part. I absolutely take care of spacing, new lines, tabs while I'm coding if that makes sense. You know kinda like Steve Jobs who paid extreme attention to each and every detail.

I know a little bit of code, HTML, CSS, C, C++, Win32 API etc. I'm not really good at it but I'm more than an average programmer. I also know a bit of reverse engineering and web application hacking. And I've also been listed in various hall of fames (Google, Microsoft, Facebook).

The thing is I'm not able to find a specific career. Can people at HN suggest some good career choice? Thanks in advance.

I can't explain you how I'm spending day and night but something is wrong with me. I read lots of articles about web designing, programming and hacking but that's about it. What do I do with this knowledge? I've no goal it seems. I learned about computers on my own (via Google actually). Friends and family consult with me before purchasing a new computer/laptop/smartphone or if something goes wrong with their devices. I've been listed in Microsoft Hall of fame for privately disclosing a bug but the reality is the bug was damn easy. People know me as a great hacker in my society but the reality is that I still don't know many things about hacking. I'm 20+ but no job yet. I did a bachelors degree in CS but couldn't pass all the subjects. So, it's like I don't have any degree. And due to it I've been rejected from 100s of interviews. I just don't want to sit idle like this any more. I feel like I'm doing nothing. I'm completely depressed. Please guide me to the right path.

I mean, just look at these:

http://www.indianrail.gov.in/

There's no end to this list. Why doesn't Indian government take some action to hire more capable designers. This isn't the first time it is been told that Indian websites are designed by school kids.

Is there any reason Indian government isn't taking care of it?
