    Yes, consider working in higher ed. Look mainly at Career Centers and perhaps you could work in an employer-facing role. There is a place for us all and if you are a people person, love working with students or enjoy being in environments supporting higher ed, then consider looking at a college or university near you.

    What aspects (if any!) of your position/industry do you enjoy? I worked in HR for over 15 years and enjoyed L&D, benefits and training but detested the ER side which I was mainly doing. I ended up doing some adjunct teaching and now help women who are returning from career breaks which leans into the parts I like while not being known as the grim reaper? I think starting with what you enjoy and learning more about how those areas can be leveraged into other roles is a great starting point!
