| Good on you for asking. I'm a coach and I see a lot of successful people with your interests doing "all of the above," rather than thinking of a career in singular terms, or attempting to define all of their interests with a single role in their career like they've got an identity paintbrush but only one color. Quite often this means using one or two roles as a stable income base while working on the other things. A lot of consultants and business owners work this way. Some things that stood out to me: - You didn't mention wanting a high income anywhere, which means you may be able to work this out by identifying a minimum income level. If you can do this, IMO you get major bonus points for being able to be more measured, flexible, and open with your schedule, especially in values-oriented work. - Values and interests point at strengths. One can sometimes change a job in place, creatively organizing options at work and negotiating with an employer to bring those strengths to bear. This could involve everything from pitching a new project that overlaps with VR interests to starting a podcast for employees where you work. - You have some big-picture expressions like "push for" in there. In my experience you'll probably need to develop your own frameworks for logging and measuring your progress in these efforts. Otherwise it's too easy to lose traction fast, and maybe even feel like a failure when it could be more helpful to look at it as first moves or first experiments. Hope that helps! Nice job here and good luck. |
