My friend asks:

Anyone here who has left tech or similar profession & gone into ministry / pastoral care? Or know someone who has?

College roommate went straight from engineering school to Rabbinical school and is now serving in a Rabbinical capacity. No tech professional experience, though, as far as I recall.

I know one person who's in the process of doing that, but she might be the same person as your friend who is asking. (I don't know if you know each other or not. Is your asking friend in Washington state?)

I have asked -- my friend ([livejournal.com profile] caladri) would be delighted to get to know your friend! What's the best way to perform introductions? Email?
