Beyond Stay or Leave

I tend to see my career choice as binary. Help me see the full option space.

Context:
- Current role: [describe]
- What I want more of: [list]
- What I want less of: [list]
- Constraints: [location, family, finances, licensure, contracts, if relevant]

Tasks:
1. Generate 10 distinct paths along a spectrum from "stay and reshape the role" to "start a company," including hybrids: building inside my organization, advising startups, joining an early-stage company part-time, teaching, investing, consulting, research, a portfolio career.
2. For each, describe a typical week, what it would give me, what it would cost, and how reversible it is.
3. Rate each on fit with my stated wants and constraints, and explain the rating.
4. Point out any option I may be dismissing because of identity or fear rather than evidence.

Output: a table sorted by fit, then a short note on patterns you see.
