So much chaos in the world... but this made me smile. I always love seeing my "kids" when I'm out and about, or home from college. Just the other day, I bumped into a student I taught in third grade, and now they’re in college studying to be a teacher! It was such a full-circle moment that made me so proud and hopeful for the future. Does anyone else get a little boost of hope for the future whenever they hear about or unexpectedly run into a former student doing well?

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
