It’s all daisies and unicorns to be so idealist in when you are young, until you are 35 and your peers are making 3-5x more than you do….. this is exactly why I told my DC to pursue CS or Business. Let someone else try to save the world, the trees and the whales. In the real world, living real life, with two kids and a mortgage, It’s about making money.
I went to a top SLAC and then got a degree in public policy at an ivy…and
now I lead ESG reporting at a tech company, so I would like to think I’m saving the whales and making a lot of money. Not big law money, but more money then I could have imagined growing up in a small town in New England where if your dad was a doctor your mom could stay at home and you lived in a big house. Biglaw didn’t exist where I grew up.
