I always change directions, have difficulty focusing on specific tasks and feel depressed with anxiety.I feel that I always look out of the box and neglect my job at work. Is there something wrong with me? if so, what can I do correct this problem that is haunting me daily?
Note : I have been through about 15 different organizations during my career and always look for quick get rich schemes.

You Dear, are ADHD (or ADD at the very least). Find a physician that is familiar with adult ADHD........I self-medicated for years (amphetemines actually slowed me down so I could stay focused, avoid the depression/anxiety,function like a "normal" person.)

Stop looking for quick get rich schemes...those haven't gotten you where you want to go, have they?
Think about what you want to achieve in 2 areas: as a focused and productive human being on the job, and away from it. They may be 2 entirely different things. Some people only want a job to provide for their "basic" needs: roof over their head and bills, because they derive personal satisfaction in other areas of their life. Others want the job to be meaningful in some broad way (that is, helping the world, making you feel satisfied that you're making a difference, etc.). Decide whether you want a job mainly for money, or for money and satisfaction.
When you get a different job, put your all into it. My son has a job that he's not crazy about, but it's getting him what he wants for now (ability to pay bills and concentrate on outside interests) because it isn't taking up a lot of "intellectual" space in his life.
Good luck. You sound like a thoughtful person and no, there is nothing wrong with you!!

No nothing is wrong with you. Everyone is looking to get rich fast. Just remember most of them are just trying to steal from you. Just iqnore them and realize that the only way you can get rich is if you are an educated human being who is ready to go far in life to get what it takes to live a good life. Maybe you will never be rich but maybe you could just work hard and make sure you live a decent life. Most people that are poor just want to live decent. They think by rich is everything great, but most rich people I think cause I dont know for sure...but I would assume are not very happy at all. They do have responibilties to actally do more than someone like you and I. We see on reality tv how they get away with more cause they have more money, but with more money comes more reasponibility. They have more people after them. They have more people to pay just so they can live a normal life. Sure they get to do more then we could even imagine., but really what is it worth just to live a normal decent life.

That is where your problem is - get rich quick schemes. For you to "get rich" quick or slow, you have to learn to achieve one thing at a time. Don't start on a new project if you haven't finished the first one. Its frustrating when everything gets started but nothing get done. Nothing is wrong with you, you're just in too much of a hurry. Stop thinking outside of the box first and finish what's in the box before you let your mind wander. Practice yoga or meditate to teach your mind the discipline of thinking in the proper direction.

Dear Mike,
I think that you should have a focus in your life. Be positive in your thinking. Encourage yourself and tell yourself of the things that you want to accomplish day by day. Do not set high targets that would pressurized yourself.Set a few days limit instead. Always have a mind to keep track of the things you are doing instead of wandering off. Be humble and search for advice from the experts. Having good friends is a good choice as they provide a listening ear. =)

If your age permits, I suggest you join the military. You will learn how to keep a focus. And the Sergeant will not let you neglect the job. You may also consider jobs where you can not afford to neglect: like firefighting or ambulance driver. You neglect or do not keep a focus and people may get hurt. Thus you learn how to keep on track.

15 ??? not enough. I have been more than 20 in my entire life and still going..
You just have to keep hope high. Jumping jobs to jobs is not a problem as long as you are still accepted. You probably need some challenging work in life. Keep searching. life is not one time station. You have to keep going...
