[quote=Anonymous]Husband is a radiologist. He would love for our kids to go into medicine. I am a lawyer - NO way would we encourage that. After living through my experience, lack of vacation time, billables, after-hours work, lower pay, etc. - he told the kids they can't go to law school unless they paralegal for two years first and really feel passionate about it. I am still working FT, 18 years later, but, since law firm practice was not for me, I make less than 1/4 of what my husband does (I have never cracked 100K despite going to a well ranked law school). Even my friends who are in medicine part time are making 6 figures. Yes, there are stressors in medicine, and DH has changed jobs a handful of times as a result. But the options for ample vacation time, part time work schedules, good pay, and job security are really unmatched. [/quote]
