When my husband was younger he went to a temp agency and they gave him a list of jobs his skills could transition to in other fields and he ended up in a career in a completely different field. My question is, would that be a career coach that helps you with that kind of list or should I try to find another temp agency that offers this? I know I can do a lot but not sure what all those skills could transition to.

There are career coaches who can do this - some better than others. I know another person commented that the ones they worked with were not helpful, so you definitely need to do some checking, but they are out there! I’m working with one now who is helping me transition into a job I didn’t realize existed before and yet is a very good fit for my skill set and experience.
I don’t know that a temp agency would do this kind of thing any longer, though.
