Here's a question that I'd really be interested in having answered. I'm in the situation that I worked for, studied for a particular job over the course of practically 30 years. After I got out of school, I got the job I have now and have held for 10 years. But I'm discovering that despite desperately wanting to follow this career path, I have minimal ability for it. I've found ways to have value to my employer without actually being terrifically good at what I'm supposed to be doing. Now that seems to be catching up, as work is drying up and one of our biggest clients -- who I've been consigned to -- seems to be leaving us.
So the question is -- having single-mindedly pursued this course for most of my life -- where can I go to find out if I have any other skills or options that I can use? Frankly, I'm pretty worried about where I go from here.
