Career Help and Advice

As I slog through sleepless nights and wake up tired and angry, I think I'm coming to the realization that I need a career change -- like a totally-out-of-my-element, crazy-kind of career change. But I'm not sure how to do that -- and I'm sure that there are a lot of folks here who have been there, done that, got the t-shirt, who can offer good advice and encouragement.

I've been told a good place to start is taking an interests test. Sounds good, IF I had the time to do it. I need to make the time.

I am a proofreader (and erstwhile copy editor), and I'm tired of the expectation of perfection when I'm handed crap. I'm beginning to feel more like the guy who cleans up after the elephants when the circus comes to town. If I had to say what I would like to do, off the top of my head, copywriting, or working in some capacity for a nonprofit.

Looking forward to reading and posting here.
