Gotta say, when I first met you at ISW you seemed far more mature and professional than someone only recently in their first job. Love the picture of you and Gen Petraeus - you’re both so young!
I’d been pretending I was 25 years old for most of my life so by the time I got there, I was pretty good at it 🤪 And yes! We both have that youthful glow still! Le sigh.
This so speaks to me, Alicia. I too did all the exercises in “What Color Is Your Parachute” and actually found it helpful in figuring out who I was at that point nalthough it didn’t help me find a job.
One objection—thinking of majoring in philosophy is “whimsical”? To me it was basic common sense (that’s probably why I didn’t find a job!)
Maybe you can a job with your former board member Liz Cheney, when she becomes Secy of Defense!
lol
