Maybe set some priorities, and see what jobs fit?
Kid's organized activities - sports, clubs, etc are you going to take them to practice/meetings?
you'll def want to be at the games/presentations
This means somewhat flexible hours
Do you want to work with clients?
Do you want to have employees?
Do you want to have work follow you home? (managing, planning, or calling people)
Do you want to have a boss or do your own thing?
Personally, i'd stay away from the food business. Hard work (hours), with lots of risk.
Can't trust anyone - although it could turn into a family thing.
Working for the government isn't bad - either as a contractor, or civilian employee (could take a year or more to be hired.)
Project or shop manager, or vendor manager - should provide some flexibility. Just need to be able to get a security clearance.
Could go with the franchise idea. Tools, uniforms, supplies. Gotta be consistent with hitting the shops tho.
Might also fluctuate with the economy. Driving in that area may suck??
Any consideration to get your license/certifications to do insurance/investing/retirement planning advice?
You already like that space - get hooked up with a group and start expanding your network.
There would be time to build your client list and get rolling -
