Baby steps, but keep moving forward. I vested my fed retirement before leaving. That is not a bad play.Ag_of_08 said:
Im at a point right now that things are very dead end, but I'm trying to get the degree squared away, and in about 2 years everything will be payed off to the point I can try to make a change.
Im only 5 years away from having a retirement if i can stay in the same field/retirement system, so I may have to make small moves. Job market is also hosed for the next couple of years, so I have some time and vague stability to get ahead..... i hope.
I also was a prosecutor right after law school and didn't open my firm until 44. You have time but have to make a move by mid 40s so you can get a good 20 years in the new career.
Good luck.
