If you had to do something else for a living, what would you want to do?

Chief, ABA Disciplinary Counsel, or President of the United States, but I hate wearing suits and would also hate to give up the snappy ensemble I wear now.

LOL
But the ABA is a voluntary association with no disciplinary authority over anyone. Many, like me, have resigned from the association because it has been taken over by liberals.
There are jobs like you've described, but they tend to be at the state level. Plenty of bad lawyers to discipline though, especially if you take a big state like CA or NY.

I think the President can wear whatever he wants, can't he?
Seems like you're the right guy, TR. Where do I send my check?

Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgeon, maybe and Eye Surgeon.
Realistically, before IT I was offered a job as a supervisor with the Postal Service. The money was good, but the hours and people? Not on your life....

Not sure I could do or have done anything else. Sort of feel like I have been doing this forever and think this excerpt from Patton's poem sums it up for me.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Well, that one is easy. Best of both worlds on what my occupation/life would be if I could go back in time. I would have my cake and get to eat it too.

Absolutely outstanding question! Are you taking a psych course?
