I have similar situaion and This is what I am currently doing and suggest.
You can sit back and relax ..
try to find out your gretest talent and your gretest passion.
see where they overlap
and create your purpose and pursue that with Passion and talent (Genius)
This is very generalized answer but its very important i believe.
Dont be in hurry and dont be miguided by thinking you will have clarity in 1 month.
This will take you atlest one year to get the clarity so be patience
right Goals are more important than right plans (specially longterm)
so be patience.

I know that I enjoy being outside and I like working with my hands...but that will hardly replace an IT salary. I think my best bet is to start my own business, but I lack direction. HVAC tech? Plumber? Energy auditor? Home inspector? Realtor/Broker/Foreclosure Agent
I'm having difficulty finding which direction I should go and being reasonably comfortable in my decision. I've got a young son and while my wife could go back to work (healthcare) I want to support her in staying at home with my son.
How do I take the next steps (and what are they)?  |
