I read your first extraordinary post late yesterday and just re-read it. What strikes me this morning is that perhaps I failed to make clear that you have come to a good place to seek suggestions, that it is great that you are seeking suggestions instead of just rushing into your adventure, and that you are welcome here. Everyone here is focused on helping you succeed.

Trying to figure out what to do with your life, assuming that means more than just trying to get your next job, is something a lot of us are doing. That search-for-meaningful-existence thing is kind of a universal challenge for thoughtful people.

Clearly the search does not necessarily require a cross-country trek, but just as clearly that strategy might work. Why do you think it might work for you?
