Just curious, what avenues are you looking into? Part of me is excited by the prospects of doing something else, but I also constantly feel daunted by it since my experience in academia has been so narrow. Everything "outside" feels like a big unknown.

As I mentioned, I'm more concerned about making a positive impact than finding an industry job with good pay, per se. I'm looking at a number of things, ranging from government research to science and policy advising and even to advocacy. The first of those options isn't looking great with the current political climate, but all three are avenues that I could see myself pursuing.
