You were at the paper. You were very committed to it. At some point, you must have made a decision to leave because of some reason. Tell us, why did you leave and what did you decide to do next?

Yeah. You know, it's funny, Sean, just for what it's worth is that if we're tracking the two careers, I remember making $20,000 in that first job that you and I worked at together. And then my next job paid $40,000. So if you were getting 50, then your next career move was more financially savvy in a way than mine.

I'll just fill in because I know what happens next because you told me which is that you ended up leaving teaching and then you became a paralegal. And... You told me in your message to me that you were disappointed when after studying to be a paralegal and getting a job as a paralegal that it wasn't paying as much as you had hoped that it would, right?
