[quote=Anonymous]I almost applied to law school, but when i learned what lawyers do, day in snd day out, i knew I would resent the grind. When I looked at what being a successful lawyer looked like, I realized it was not for me. I work in communications for a nonprofit at the mid-senior level as does my spouse, my kids are in dual language public, we do our own house cleaning, very little outsourcing, our mortgage payment is v low (we bought 20 years ago in gentrifying area). At 300k hhi, but sometimes much lower, we still enjoy trips abroad, eating out twice a week, reasonable level of activities for kids including music lessons.) if you can get out and downshift— not just your job but your lifestyle, take kids out of private, move into a more sustainable house/neighborhood—do it now.
