Or: Who wants to help the Res decide what she wants to be when/if she grows up? (Not cutting because I want maximum input, but I'll try to keep it brief.)
I've been doing the exercises in What Color Is Your Parachute, and have ended up with a list of transferable skills and a list of interests.
Skills:
Analyze
Solve problems/see patterns
Evaluate
Imagine/invent
Classify/organize
Plan
Interests:
Social sciences
Design of spaces
Communication studies
Folklore
Speculative fiction
Libraries
The next step is to ask everyone I know: Do these suggest any job titles to you? Do they suggest any job fields to you?
The best job I ever had was one that I didn't know such a thing existed until I found myself interviewing for it, so I'm very open to unexpected suggestions from you brainy and extremely diverse people. (Please feel free to share this post; I'm very interested in advice from everyone, whether I know them or not.)

Right now I'm feeling terribly "introverted" about life;, where everything takes energy and nothing gives it back. So, I wind up needing to spend huge amounts of time by myself so that I can recover enough energy to deal with anything that isn't just me-related. :(
I'm sure that something will come along, and that's why I found the suggestions here so interesting. Maybe one of these ideas will be the "it" that starts providing energy!
