[quote=Anonymous]I am a regulatory attorney at a boutique law firm with about 10 years of experience.  I'm decent at my job, but not a star.  I don't love what I do and I don't think that will change anytime soon, so I am brainstorming ways to transition into a new career.  I have an 18 month old son and my husband and I are thinking of having another, so I need something that can be decently family friendly, and also pay well.

Can anybody offer any guidance on careers in federal contracts management? I always see job posting for job like this.  Will my background as an attorney be an advantage?  Are there any certifications I could obtain to prepare me for this type of position?  I've done some online research and I see that the National Contract Management Association has several different certifications available.  Does anybody know about these certifications and if they are worth pursuing?

Are there any organizations in the area where I can learn more about this type of career and if it would be a good fit for me?

TIA![/quote]
