I know this is Nature but it's a shame all five came from STEM backgrounds where it's relatively easy to imagine meaningful transitions out of academia. For those of us in most humanities disciplines (ie I don't mean anthropology and psychology) it's much less obvious how our skills can be valued outside. Most people I know are starting their new careers from the very bottom.
