Well, I suppose you should write those mice a nice thank you note.

I don't know you , so this is probably just a ridiculous thing to say, but what about business school? Ever consider something like that? Man, people with those degrees seem to do well. It's not a requirement, obviously, but it does seem to jump-start the starting salary situation. You sound like a go-getter, though. You probably don't even need that.

All the career gurus say to go with your passion. The problem is, sometimes that changes. Maybe that's where you find yourself. I went to school for 9 million years and then practiced surgery for a good while. But then I found out that what I was best at was running medical technology companies. Who would have known? They don't teach that in medical school.

So, anyway, carpe diem. And please keep us posted.
