Giving some thought this morning to my career direction over a cup of chamomile tea. Since becoming a freelance translator in 2012, I haven't had any reason to change my direction, although I have realized that my current homeostatic career path (just passively keep doing the same thing until I retire and assuming that nothing else in the industry or world will change) may not be the best way to contribute to society, or to others who might benefit from my abilities. It's agonizing to think about these things as always, and I haven't really come up with any clear sense of bearing for a great many years now. Becoming a freelance translator was more predicated on necessity and accommodating other life choices than on a strong desire to change careers at the time, but now I'm wondering if there isn't a superior path forward, or some meaningful changes I can make.
