By the way, that's an interesting username, especially the first half...

I've spent 20+ years working with the agency as an analyst and consultant. Very interesting work but I'm ready for something new after 20 years of the same thing.

My big problem is that I trapped myself inside glass walls. I make a good salary in my specific job field and industry but trying to move into the civilian world means taking a 60-70% pay cut; something I'm not willing to do even though I really want the change.

I know I can successfully apply 20+ yrs experience in analysis and management to any number of companies and positions but is hard for a company to offer a strong mid or upper-level salary to someone with zero work in their industry. Earning the MBA is my way of filling in gaps in my own knowledge while simultaneously beefing my resume a bit so I can minimize my pay cut when switching careers. Whether it works or not... I don't know. I have no business contacts with anyone outside Govt. Intel world -- so I feel it's an uphill battle in unfamiliar territory :-)
