[quote=Anonymous]I left my junior partnership at a biglaw firm to be a tenure-track (now tenured) professor at a law school. Went from $500k to $120k. Now I make about $170k plus about $20-50k in consulting/writing/etc. Never lived like I needed a biglaw salary, and was able to save a ton and buy home outright. No regrets at all! Married with two kids. We live comfortably but of course no crazy expenses like fancy cars or excessive vacations. But I love my job, can basically set my own hours (when not in class), and I have never had to miss my kids' sports events, recitals etc. Most of my friends from law school who are still at firms have gotten divorced and many have serious drug/alcohol problems. Life is too short. [/quote]
