I don't see why you think your situation is anything noteworthy.
Are you kidding me!? WE AGREE!!! WE FRIGGIN' AGREE!!!
El D's the one telling me that I shouldn't bother to learn to drive a car or work to own one because I have no interest in motoring, I'm the one saying that I probably ought to do so in order for it to benefit me in the long run.
My situation isn't special or noteworthy, I'm just a straight-up loser getting royally bent over by life in every aspect aside from my social side where I have a good selection of friends and have a girlfriend (she made it official last night when I went on a night out to be introduced to her friends- journalists and young investment bankers earning 35k-50k plus bonuses, but nice guys too)

El D is the one telling me not to!! Other people have told me not to! They have directly advised me that career A, B, C or D is only worth going for if its something you 'reaaally want to do'.
People tell me that the main thing you need is direction, to have a goal, to have a passion. I don't have any and that's what's screwing me.
If you're saying that I should just bite the bullet and do things (including finding a job) that I don't particularly like in the slightest, but do so to facilitate other stuff, then sure! I'd instinctively agree that might be the best course of action, but you and El D are directly contradicting each other.
