[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Let's not get into this, ok? There are so many lawyers in this town, not all of us can have flashy, high-powered, or even respectable jobs. Or jobs in law at all. It's just kind of mean to call the work that other people do because it's the work they can find "shitlaw." You think that because someone went to law school they are immune to being made fun of because lawyer = fancy, but that's not true, and this is demeaning.

I agree. Let's not do this.

Seriously. I'm at biglaw but don't understand the percentage in demeaning other people's jobs. It's a tough old world - no reason to be needlessly hurtful.

IDK, when I moved to DC for DH's job, and the only job I could find was working for a horrible, horrible small firm where the hours were awful, the work was not stimulating, the partners were awful, and I was treated poorly.  Thankfully, after several years, I was able to find a job in local government that I like, but it took forever.  I wasn't insulted when people called my small firm job shitlaw.  It was shitty and awful, not because of prestige, but because it was a bad, bad working environment where I was treated poorly.  [/quote]

This doesn't help for a number of reasons. 1. It wasn't a bad job really 2. You got out. ....[/quote]
