What are career options for big-picture thinkers with no experience?
I would rather talk about the best place to put a new restaurant than manage a kitchen or grill burgers.
I would rather examine construction processes & costs, and value delivery to the client than take shovel in hand or supervise a crew.
I would rather discuss the best ways of solving the problem of physical security for a client than write up shift schedules or walk the rounds with a radio.
I feel like I am a big-picture thinker, but I really hesitate to call myself 'visionary' after the negativity associated with that title, and I am not always the one with the 'hot new ideas'. I'm terrible at the detailed, mundane, or ordinary. But sweeping swathes, broad strokes, 'What's the best for us? How can we be better?' there I think I've got talent.
But without the competitiveness or stress tolerance for academia; without a college degree or years of experience; without the talent or network to write a profitable blog; without the funds to be an entrepreneur or consultant; I feel like I am a bit hopeless. I feel like I am out of options when it comes to a fulfilling, challenging career, at which I would excel, e.g. business strategy, or organizational portfolio management, or something like that.
What can I do? Is there something I've overlooked, or part of the picture I don't see?
Thank you all for your help.
