[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former lawyer (in house for most of my career). Never had kids. Got divorced very unexpectedly at 42, and after grieving for some time decided to look for the opportunity within the profound change to my life. I ended up taking the foreign service exam and am now a career FSO. I've lived in three countries and appreciate the work, the people, and the adventure. My friends thought I was crazy at the time, but they've also visited me in places like Athens since then...[/quote] This is my dream job. [/quote] I know someone with the exact same track-- lawyer turned FSO around the same age after a divorce. [/quote] Hmm. I am an FSO who joined at 30 and am thinking of what to do for my next career when I retire at 50! Can't wait to do something else. The tutoring thing seems really interesting and meaningful.[/quote]
