[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your career now? On a scale of 1-10, how much do you like it? How badly do you want to switch? Are you, generally, a risk taker or fairly risk adverse? I’d talk to a counselor or career coach before quitting your job.

It would probably be an EMBA, which is $120K ish. Risk mitigation would be a school at least as good as Virginia Darden. OP, Stanford runs a program for highly successful people who are looking for a second career, usually non-profit. You might want to look it up if only for ideas.[/quote]

OP here... yes, it would be an EMBA, and the idea would be to consult on areas where I already have expertise and a solid network. I have the luxury of being able to afford to do something like this without needing to worry too much about money - it might mean cutting costs a bit but it would not be a huge risk in a cosmic sense. I guess I am really just struggling with whether I could handle feeling like I am "starting over," which is why I am curious about the stories of others who have done it.[/quote]
