Are you looking for a career? What's important to you in a career? Things like lifestyle (high/low stress, work hours, travel,), pay, interaction with people, level of responsibility, upward mobility, degree of helping others or contributing to the community, social status/respect, whatever.
You have certain metacognitive skills, like the ability to put what you're thinking or feeling into words, that I think would be useful to you in some kind of writing or communications career.
I think you also have a desire to learn new things, and the ability to synthesize those things into your world-view (a type of critical thinking). I'm not sure what kind of job requires this skill, but it must be useful somehow.
Have you ever taken the Multiple Intelligences test? I have a feeling you would be strong in verbal/linguistic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal (like me). FYI, most teachers have verbal/linguistic and interpersonal as their strongest intelligences.
My gut feeling is that you should write. Maybe even teach college writing.
Don't we all, haha. I can see you teaching journalism, not in the reporting-for-the-news sense, but in the advocacy sense. Not sure if there's a word for that.

Was there any kind of particular writing you think I should teach?
I don't think I've taken a Multiple Intelligences test. I do like teaching and mentoring, but I hate bureaucracy, haha.
