compare and contrast.

It's like this: Either you want to do this in which case you should get good at it, or you don't want to do this in which case you need to figure out what you do want to do. And you need to do it quickly. There's no point in treading water; time you spend in pursuit of someone else's goals is a gift to them and if they aren't worth giving gifts to, they aren't worth giving your time.

Yeah, well, I do like to yell at pabst and ask him why in the heck he thinks he wants to go into investment banking from time-to-time.

Tentatively, this special project that I'm down here for could lead me to a new job [role] and a move to VA. It would be something. I've been talking about moving south for a long time.

VA = Veterans' Affairs?

No, the state. I'd be doing a different job, too, but not dissimilar to my current role.

Copy that.

Pabst may want to go into investment banking because he'd like to have a lot of money. Marry the kid; you'll be able to do whatever you want. ;-)
