The coach is helping me look introspectively at creating a skills inventory for both marketing myself better and thinking about what kind of jobs I should be looking for. Right now I don't know, I just know I need to get out of the industry culture I'm in, much like @BlueRaith.
I hear you on the intimidation of all the what-if's. It feels like I'm trying to stage the breakup with a 10 year relationship. But unlike deciding to be single, I have to have a job to keep fed & housed, and that's terrifying. And it's stressful to keep doing the work that I know I want out of until I have another job lined up.
That part of the internet terrifies me. This shit can just vanish. It's not a physical good that needs an active force to destroy. All that has to happen is neglecting to host it, or losing the path to find it, and woosh it's gone. Reddit has an incredible amount of knowledge that is at the whim of a small company. If for no other reason, the democratization of information cries for some kind of decentralization.
