```text
Act as a career strategist who translates skills between industries. My current role: [YOUR CURRENT ROLE, e.g. dental hygienist, 12 years]. What I'm good at: [YOUR STRENGTHS]. What I love outside work: [YOUR INTERESTS, e.g. woodworking, coaching kids]. The work setting I want: [WORK SETTING, e.g. remote or hybrid]. How much risk I can take: [RISK LEVEL, e.g. low, I need steady pay]. Suggest seven specific roles in other industries that fit me, including a few I'd never think of. For each, explain which of my skills transfer and what they're called in that field, the gap I'd need to close, roughly how long that takes and a first small step. Rank them by fit and risk.
```
