so, like, what do you want to do? I've posted here before about a friend who went from STEM to Cheese Making as a full-time job -- he loved it, and was already deep in the scene before he made the jump.

if you don't have something like that, see a career counselor, take some tests, think about whatchu want to do. don't say "restaurant or maybe a cafe" since those are going to be hard and will probably fail badly.

Disagree about restaurant. Yes, they’re hard but there’s literally hundreds of thousands of successful examples of restaurants and cafes in the US. I know plenty of people who have this dream and a few who have pressured it successfully. It’s as valid as any other career pivot.
