The Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman is reportedly making a major career change.

Dorfman, a 27-year-old former assistant district attorney, has decided not to go back to her job at the Fulton County District Attorney's office in Atlanta, GA, after taking a three-month unpaid leave of absence to film the show's tenth season, TMZ reported.
Dorfman reportedly opted to resign from her position because she didn't want to ask for an extension on her previously approved February 20 to May 31 leave.
However, the D.A.'s office has no hard feelings towards Dorfman. In fact, according to TMZ, her employers raved about her and insisted they'd probably re-hire her if an opportunity presents itself later on.
In late February, news circulated that Dorfman's former boss Paul Howard Jr., the D.A. of Fulton County, had granted her a leave of absence to appear on an unspecified "program" although she was reportedly in the middle of prosecuting a murder trial in Atlanta.

"Although this request is highly unusual, because you are a valued member of the District Attorney's Office I am willing to grant your request, albeit with certain caveats," Howard Jr. wrote in a letter to Dorfman dated February 18.
"I am willing to hold your position until your return. I wish you the best of luck while you participate in this program."
Dorfman's The Bachelorette season is currently airing and, after Monday night's episode, she still has eight men in the running for her heart.
