I don't think I'm looking for change per se; more a wider range of experiences. Stuff to try, not stuff to buy.
One of the things that the focus group did for me was, I sat down and took a long hard look at other career paths I had thought I wanted to try. I went so far as to do some legwork on how to get started on them, and I eventually came to the conclusion that, odd as it sounds, I am happy in my work, for the most part. I haven't discounted those other possibilities, but I realized that this is not the exact moment in time I want to be switching to them. Six years ago, yeah; and maybe in a few years down the road, but not right now.
Also, oddly, I don't feel all that stressed for the most part. Busy as hell, but I'm not too knotted up. (And when I am, it's more traceable to long-term lack of sleep.) But thanks :)
