Jason - trying doing some of the assessments in https://www.mynextmove.org/ then when something interest you, use LinkedIn to network with individuals that have done the same thing - search companies in that industries and then the people send them a tailored connection request to set up an informational interview - secondly connect with me to broaden your network - https://www.linkedin.com/in/garyrossibaldrigecoach/
