Phantom -
With that avatar I wouldn't have guessed that you were a Marine Phantom pilot - or am I making a wrong assumption there with your past history in the Corps?
threeighteen is right though about the present legal system. It is a very tough road out there for lawyers. Even experienced lawyers looking to move are having a tough time finding new jobs. Back when you got out though Phantom you might have been able to land one of those dream jobs with a firm if that was the type of law that you were looking for.
To the OP. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. There isn't much that I would change in my aviation career. A few things here and there, but I don't feel that I have anything to complain about. There are other facets of aviation that I would have liked to have seen or worked in that I probably will never get the chance, but we all have certain things that just don't work out for one reason or another.
