Go West, Young Woman
I'm ready. My decision was forced by circumstances even if moving West was something I planned on eventually.....rather than right away. It is all a good thing. There are some unknowns career-wise since I have to do this move for personal reasons and hope that I land upright doing something with a semblance to what I currently do and have been doing and relates to my transferable skill sets of instructional design/curriculum design, program evaluation, student assessment, social science research (both qualitative and quantitative methods), and career counseling. Surely there's something that will pay the bills.
I also just recently got my Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Step 1 certification. And confirmed that I indeed have the preferences of I-N-T-J and I know how it impacts what grinds my gears, who I get on well with, who and what annoys the crap out of me, my strengths and weaknesses, and ways in which I might be misunderstood. Fascinating stuff and I am glad I bit the bullet and took the training FWIW.
More soon.
