heh. I do the same thing. I think, "I really need to use my degree." But, I never do anything.
I hate major change. I hate moving, I hate changing jobs. Those are the big ones. New things like that scare me (which is funny when you think about how many new, big things I did in the last year.) The thought of change will stop me in my tracks and stagnate me.
Never mind that I've been successful at most of the new things I've tried. Never mind that I regret terribly never trying the police officer thing--out of fear--so now I will never know if I would have been successful at that. It still does it to me.
I can't really even say how I've got past my fear and actually tried the new things. I just do it. And, I'm always happy I did. But, before I did, oh, the fear and immovability!
