[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Unfortunately, it's too late for me to get into IT. I guess my best bet is to convert my current job to a full time WFH. I don't think what I do is a niche, and not sure the company would allow it, since a large part of my job is event management.

I highly doubt that they will let you do that.  I would try to get them to allow you to add a second telework day.  If that goes well over an extended period, maybe you can try to go to 3 days.  But your job sounds like one where you really need to be in the office a good chunk of the time, so I am not sure your goal is realistic.  And if your skills aren't terribly unique, there doesn't sound like much of a reason for the company to bend over backwards to meet your request.[/quote]

OP here. You are right. I don't think they will either. I'm not highly specialized and many can do my job. I am stuck in this non profit world.[/quote]

I'm the PP who suggested you start your own biz in event planning. Can you do some P/T event work on weekends to start slowly building a name for yourself? I know there are smaller party planning companies who look for on-site coordinators on the weekends. This could be a good way to build a client roster by getting to know people outside of the world you are currently in. Even PR firms hire one-off event help and maybe getting to know people in that world will also be good for networking. Don't ever think of yourself as stuck. There are always other options. Sometimes you just have to get out of your comfort zone to find them. I for one will hope that you can find the situation that works best for you![/quote]
