Answer:

Well, what do you like to do? What could you see yourself doing for the forseeable future? I can't believe you lasted in the restaurant industry for so long! Good on you! Since you're good with people, maybe you could work for a non-profit? Or have you thought about teaching? I think it really depends on what you like to do! So what do you like to do?
