George Mason: Believe it or not, I used to want to be a teacher. A long time ago. You know why I didnt? DOD offered me more money. Thats how I made my decision. So I made myself miserable. And I made everybody else around me miserable. For an extra five thousand dollars a year. That was my price.Michelle Dessler: Im sorry.George Mason: You know, Michelle, Im not a big advice giver, but under the circumstances... Dont wait around for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy, and do it. Because everything else is all just background noise.
