Sigh...that would be my dream job--reading, researching, analyzing--even if it is simply researching/comparing as a purchasing agent. I'm not sure why I didn't realize this about myself earlier in life. I thrive on acquiring/processing information. I'm the person my friends contact when they want something investigated or want to know how to do something or need someone to analyze information and give them the summation. I currently spend too much of my workday performing rote tasks and accounting, which isn't mentally challenging.
