I tend to agree. But we're likely similar personality types -
   middle school special Ed teacher was the number 1 career for me
   in some expensive career test i took once (MAPP) - and it's
   accurate. It's also a career I could drop into and manage. I
   think it's due to seeing the outliers - those who don't fit well
   in the bell curve - and an ability to relate - whatever the age.
