[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I would prefer to be one of the following:

Director of a federal agency
Brain surgeon
Fashion designer
Astronaut

Please give me concrete advice on how to achieve my goals.[/quote]
(1) [b]Show up and say that you deserve to be director bc you are a partner and better than a government bureaucrat.[/b]
(2) Study hard for MCATs and take necessary prerequisites for years. You may not be smart enough, though, and are losing more brain cells as you age.
(3) Probably not going to be a fashion designer -- most female law partners are not fashionable 
(4) Astronaut -- See #2 re intelligence, supra.[/quote]
This is good advice for anyone seeking to move from the private sector into the Federal government.  Government bureaucrats love being told that they are too stupid to do the job that someone earning twice as much with three times the resources and a quarter the public scrutiny can do.  Bonus points if you work in a sector that benefits from outsize corporate welfare and then complain about government waste and incompetence. [/quote]
