I don't know where it will lead, it may lead nowhere - but I have had a very positive change of attitude since I decided to at least test the waters. I was feeling very trapped, and in some ways I don't think was giving myself enough credit for what my potential could be.
The last two years in my current job have been very draining, and difficult. At the same time because of reductions, while I once had two people working with me, I am now a one man show, and it is starting to effect my health, sanity, and time with my family - which is my biggest concern.
What I really want to do is write, but, I think some other field of law is safer with a kid going to med school and another one in first grade.
With my luck, I will land some job that will not allow me to take two weeks off next May!
