Among the non-familial contacts who might be willing to write me a letter of recommendation, the majority of my friends and colleagues absolutely would. Albeit, there is a bit of a conflict of interests. Pursuing a PhD could meaningfully eat into the time I have to pursue work at FinGoal, and FinGoal colleagues would feel understandably reticent to abet me in a pursuit that would hurt the company...
If I stick with the Denver Zoo and prove myself very useful there, that could give rise to some opportunities...
I could also always reach out to Kenyon professors who I knew in a past life. See if Kathleen Fernando or Pat Mulligan remember me well enough. That feels like a fucking big long shot though.
