Learn from the mistakes of others

It does sound like a very good plan to me. I guess it’s worth going through its intrinsic benefits and deficits on the one hand, and how it plays to your strengths and your weaknesses as well, (my job counselor and I recently did that sort of thing — the world is full of things that should have been obvious to me, unfortunately.) — but I am also thinking you’ve already done that — just thinking aloud before I get some extra rest...

(As a thought, but especially if you’ve ever had anything like the organizational troubles that plague me — and I cannot assume that you do or have, of course! — instead of fully independent living, are there arrangements by which, as here, you can, without paying several limbs’ worth, have someone visit on a regular basis who will help with organization and other matters? The home health aide (not sure of particular name of job) who visits once a week and is now also a friend insofar as it doesn’t interfere with her work, has helped me very much with this, but I still live on my own instead of in a group home.)

(There’s — ok, seems to be? — a lot of prejudice against the legal profession from the country in which I write, or I believe so. There are several lawyers in my family which is one of a few reasons I don’t share it!..)

Apologies for the ramble which probably assumed too much, most of which was probably mistaken and too much generalized from my own experience, and in any event far too long. (Inclined to insert a mild attempt at light humor v‐a‐v that, but .. inappropriate. Not scatological, just inappropriate.) Wishing very best, hoping though that one or two words (if not sentences) here spark conversation, and again that your plans will reach full fruition, time soonest!

Sounds like a good set of decisions to me. Best of luck to you as you pursue it. :)

Just how easy/hard is it to get a job in government there? Here, it's virtually impossible.
