[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you do? Also does he even like big law? What else would he rather do? [/quote]

He doesn't like the hours and I do think he'd rather do something less... corporate. He normal travels a lot for work but that's obviously not happening right now and with the way things are going it's not clear he'll be able to do that much in the future. I think he's feeling a little directionless.

I used to be a lawyer (actually at the same firm he is at now) but moved into a non-law job a long time ago. Then I took some time off when we had our daughter. Now I'm back working part time but don't make much at all. I had intended to find a full time job this year but that doesn't seem realistic given my time off and the challenges of finding a job in this economy. Plus our child is still pretty young and it just makes sense for me to be more available right now.[/quote]

It’s disgusting that you’re online soliciting feedback on his limitations as a lawyer while you haven’t even come close to pulling in half of the family’s income. It might just make sense for him to dump you and find someone who is less entitled.[/quote]
