[quote=Anonymous]Info
- I am 30 and DH is 28 and we have a 1yo DD and are planning on having more in the next 3-4 years
- DH is a lawyer for a gov't agency and make ~74k right now his second year out of law school and I make about 70k
- He is in an area that he is not really interested.  He wanted to do employment or taxation but got a job in a totally unrelated field because it was his only job offer out of law school
- He graduated cum laude from a decent law school (think along the lines of American) with good grades and journal experience
- We live very comfortably right now because we are living rent free with my mother since she is aging and a widow.  Everyone is happy with this arrangement

- DH has aspirations of working in big law but does not forsee being to easily make the jump from his current agency.
Question:  Should he take a year off of work an get an LLM, ideally in taxation from Georgetown, and then try for a "bigger" job after?  If he could get a job making 160k after graduation then I think it would be worth it but I am not sure of the likelihood he would be able to actually land one.
