Here is a great resource for anyone looking for alternative career information -

Alternative Careers in Science

The main sections of this book are Science & Information, the Financial World, the Corporate World, Services, and Science in Government. Look in the table of contents by clicking here: “alternative careers in science” for more detailed information about what professions are covered.

The thing I like most about this book is that it explains what each position entails, gives common personality traits of a person in that field, typical work day, and some hints on how to enter that area. Of course, this is just a good place to begin your research. I’ll be posting more details on the site as we go along. Also, even if you look at the personality traits and you don’t match up 100%, I advise you to still pursue that pathway if you are interested and maybe try to shadow someone in that field or get an internship to see if it is a good fit.

Hope this gets some ideas rolling.
