[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he have this job when you married him? Then it’s on you. And you need to get over your resentment or let him go. He sounds perfectly fine. A job he’s good at and which makes a decent living to boot. His only negative is an status obsessed spouse. [/quote]

First of all, [b]working at State is not that cool, DC or not[/b].  Don't you all do like 5 years of pushing visa papers around to begin with?  Now if you said Carlyle, NEA, Revolution, CBRE, or some lobbyist firm I'd be impressed.

Second of all, you are clearly jealous of your husband Op. he makes too much money for what he does, it's fascinating work but not cerebral enough for you, he gets lots of fun comments at parties,etc etc.  Do you hear yourself?!?  Why do you loathe your spouse so much? Wtf?[/quote]

I totally agree.  I was part of the US Mission at several overseas locations (not with State) and I can see how OP fits in nicely with that crowd.  Although there are some exceptions, State people aren't those I'd be interested in hanging out with.  Their hubris is unbearable.   On the other hand, talking to a PI would be fascinating.  I'd also be interested in talking to someone who works for the Nats (I talked with a guy who cuts many of the team members hair!), the Alexandria City Crier or Banksy.[/quote]

People who work for State are insufferable.[/quote]
