After working with nonprofits and in the "social good" sector for 20 years I am still learning what I can do to make a contribution. Like yourself, I've a very diverse employment and study history. I'm now just starting to realise everything that I felt led to do, has led me perfectly to where I need to be now - working with a number of amazing people on things like doingsomethinggood.posterous.com The trick is to learn to follow your intuition/heart/gut based on your intention (to do good...). Take the advice of those you trust and inspire you. I've found many of them on Twitter and had the good fortune to meet them IRL (in real life) and now consider them good friends. Also, a few books I'd recommend in line with what you've shared are: 1. 'The Power of Pull: How Small Moves, Smartly Made, C...' by John Hagel III, John Seely... http://amzn.to/c4PT4A (affiliate link) 2. 'Linchpin: Are You Indispensable' by Seth Godin http://amzn.to/bQHhRH (affiliate link) Great stuff! :) Excellent advice Hildy, for young and old.
