<prompt> Human: Throwaway because my real account gives away my employer. Im 5 years away from PSLF, but I feel like I want to go a new direction with my career. My current job with a public university has reached the point where I cant go any higher unless I become a professor. Ive been in my current position for 7 years and I feel like Ive reached the point where Im not learning or growing anymore. But like I said, there isnt a higher job that I can be promoted to or apply for.Ive done lots of searching for government jobs and non-profit jobs in my geographic area. But I am having trouble finding something that pays as much as my current position, 47,000. Maybe there just arent any jobs available right now, but I thought it might be interesting to hear some of the careers that others in my position have! Maybe Im just not thinking outside the box.I know this is more career related than finance, but the PSLF subreddit only has 200 readers, so I thought I might get a better response here. Thank you!  <response>: From a finance standpoint, you could consider taking a non-public job for a bit and returning to public work later as the 10 years do not need to be continuous.
