baby steps

Talked to the chief of staff for a newly-elected state legislator who is looking for local staff.

I am over-qualified; the position would require a 70% paycut.

I will turn down the position but plan to meet the chief of staff for a possible volunteering opportunity.

My lifestyle is a responsibility that I take seriously. Having been fortunate enough to afford all the fun, I will not settle in my career.

Ironically, the insistance on being paid for my worth has propelled me forward in my career.

If I have a family, I would not be able to take this latest opportunity either. I feel lucky to be able to enter this world without sacrificing other potential offers.
