[quote=Anonymous]As someone who works in BigLaw (staff side), I ask myself the same question all the time. We have partners who are well past retirement age and I can't imagine they are working because they need the money. I think some people really love being a law firm partner. Yes, the money is a big perk (no one volunteers to do it) but some attorneys are so passionate about what they do. Its admirable to have that much passion for your work. And if she doesn't have kids, might as well put her time into her work. I know plenty of people in other fields who are very passionate about their work and don't make much money at all so it happens even in the lower-paying industries too.[/quote]
