[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question from an artsy teacher who loves her work but admits that it pays crummily: Why is this work appealing to anyone except for the salary? If I were a lawyer I'd want to work for the ACLU or be a public defender, something like that. [/quote] Because back in the day (the first half of the '90s), big law actually trained you to be a lawyer. I'll be forever grateful that I worked for partners who took the billable time to teach me how to draft and negotiate. That kind of experience is priceless. Plus, on a practical level, you can always move from Big Law to almost any other type of practice, but not vice versa so easily.[/quote]
