[quote=Anonymous]Op I was in a very similar situation to you.  Don't be discouraged.  I posted two years ago and just happened to mention that I had no debt and you would not believe how nasty the responses were.  I think people were jealous and taking it out on me!  I got posts like "this is why you wait to have children" etc.  But I applied to the presidential management fellows program in the government and now work as a law and policy advisor.  My job is fabulous, I love the people I work with, I get out at 4 pm (I start at 7:30), and most importantly I feel that it is both intellectually challenging and that I am getting the preparation to move into an attorney job in the government if that is something that I want, and I know that is something other people in my job have done.  So most importantly, don't feel bad, having kids during law school is not bad- I had 1 during and 1 after and my grades were mediocre and I found a great job after 15 months and i am so happy.  Focusing on your family is never a mistake- they are what's important.[/quote]
