I did a string of jobs that were somewhat related for 10 years, as in house staff, then freelance, then as a department head at a small agency, then for my own company which I still operate.

I'll still do a freelance contract or two a year, but now I am a booking agent / sometimes tour manager / all the time talent manager. I live on tour buses half of the year. After years of long office hours I just wanted to drift for a while and it's been fun. The problem solving and budget management skills you pick up as a producer works well with managing mid level touring acts (drawing around 350-500 heads at shows nationally). Usually it's a bus load of sensitive or possibly difficult creative people on board -- not much different than keeping some balance in a design shop office.
