[quote=Anonymous]I have a masters in advertising and a BA in communications. In terms of what I like doing, well, I feel like the stuff I like to do isn't going to bring in a lot of money or is just the sort of stuff people roll their eyes at and scoff "good luck with that." Some of these things are things I've been told I'm good at, like teaching preschool kids (I volunteered years ago and enjoyed the creative aspects of the job in particular) and cooking. I'd love to run my own food business and have considered opening a restaurant one day in a lower cost area. I've considered taking cooking classes, but am concerned it would be money down the drain.

So, teaching is an option, but a lot of people I know who are teachers are miserable with the testing and outside work involved. Still, it would get me away from this current mess. I don't think I'm a corporate office person and I have no interest doing what I takes to get back into it-- throwing on a suit and heels, jumping on the train at 7 am, reporting to a passive-aggressive boss and always having a lingering sense that this too will not last.
