Does anyone have any advice for what fields PR skills can transfer well to? I've been in PR for about 5 years now, but mostly due to inertia and while I'm pretty good at my job it's not something I'm really passionate about. Over the last year or so the demands of my job have intensified and so has the feeling that I'm not doing anything that makes any tangible difference.

Tl;dr what are good job functions that PR skills apply well to. Thanks!

Haha, I actually do have a few folks who did. They moved from tech PR to tech reportorial working with tech publications - producing content/articles. At that level, they earn just as much. It’s fun to be on the receiving end of the pitches.
