I can easily see an English teach/prof migrating to regulatory- it makes sense. Lots of detailed writing and good communication skills, attention to minutia and minute details as laid out in very specific rule books (like trying to write a paper following the APA or other formats- I went practically insane doing it). As you stated- it's like the FDA is the boss, runs the show- whether you like it or not, and then you gotta play ball by all their rules/regs no matter how onerous they may be, and then answer everything to their liking, cross all "t's" and dot all "i's" just the way they like- it's a real skill and takes patience I'm sure.
It's easy to see why so many of these companies and commentators feel a lot of what our FDA does now is sorta run off the rails and has become a nightmares unto itself, while maybe not really protecting us near as much as people think, while at the same time stifling the things that really should be approved. I think that's why so many are calling for major reforms. But it's tough to dismantle or change a behemoth govt agency once it gets to big and powerful and becomes a "thing" unto itself. I think Leonhardt is sorta of fighting this cause, among others like financial stuff.
I'm gonna wait for the 10-K at this point since it's so close- wait and see what the big picture update is at this point and of course, be looking for Mirror info.
