Long story short, it has been my 3rd time trying to graduate from college. How to find real strengths (aptitude that we can't change much)? Just want life to be easier. Thank you.

my therapist recommended a book called "Strengthsfinder 2.0" by Tom Rath. there's an online quiz that you fill out and it determines your personal top strengths.

i was in my 3rd career at that point, having doubts about whether i should continue with this career or consider switching to something else. this book and the quiz helped to reassure me that the career i am in was the right one for me.
