It was an example. My background is gov relations/sales all in South Louisiana so I'm looking for something that encompasses one (or both) of these things and allows me to keep my home base in BR.


What kind of sales?

People need to start realizing that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Not everybody is a superstar. Not everybody can be what they want to be.

It sounds to me OP that you managed to find gainful employment and your ambitions have outweighed your options. I suggest long-term planning to determine where you want to be 5, 10, 15 years from now and place yourself in a position to succeed. Move if necessary.

Well, of course. But I'm not at a point where I need to settle for something I don't want or am not capable of achieving.

I could probably help get you a part time job during school if you were interested.

Going back to get my MBA was a great decision for me....but it was really hard being dirt poor for two years. I actually completely ran out of money about two months before graduation.
