Based upon some of your recent posts, perhaps you've missed your calling, Captain.

Maybe we could arrange a three-way swap; first, we need to find a willing car salesman who knows a little chemistry and who's tired of making money hand over fist (finding someone like that could prove to be a bit difficult, but still). Then, you move into his job, he moves into my job, and I move into your job. That way, we'll all be doing what we want - except for the former car salesman. But that won't matter anyway, since he won't last more than half an hour as a chemistry teacher prior to openly breaking down in tears in front of his first chemistry class, from trying to answer their off-the-wall questions ...

Mr. Goodwin,

I don't think you want my job. A broke middle aged, balding Solo attorney in a cage fight with thousands of other solos and micro firms for a diminishing pool of two bill DUI and criminal clients. All the result of the unregulated proliferation of "rank not published" law schools. If it weren't just about "sales," getting students into seats, maybe I wouldn't be so broke and law schools, even good ones wouldn't be scrambling.
