No, unfortunately, I wish I did. I do like consulting, but you will need something else. It would, but I would be cautious about people like consultants and other people. I would get a professional coach. You just need to find stuff that interests you and avoid jumping at the first thing that does. If you want to transition, I think you're, it's something where you need to get out there and do all this stuff yourself. I often just apply to many different places, not as an attorney, but saying I have a law degree.
So this is an excellent way to do it yourself, and people will call you with ideas, and you'll talk to and meet people. I think that sending out 500 applications, even though it sounds insane, could work and expose you to many different ideas. So that's something I would do. I would also try to get involved in many organizations that match your work. So you get these ideas on your own, and you don't need a career counselor to tell you what you should be doing. But I would also take different career aptitude tests and things that would be helpful for you and see where your expertise lies.
