[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Started at age 30. Ended up clerking for a Supreme Court Justice.  Now enjoying non Big Law practice and being a parent who is active and present in DCs' lives. You can do anything with law review at a top 10 law school, circuit clerkship from a feeder judge, a Supreme Court clerkship and 6 figure signing bonus. [/quote]

Few minor edits to make it more accurate. [/quote]

+1.  There are literally thousands of attorneys in DC doing document reviews on a contract basis, 4 weeks here, 6 weeks there, barely making a living. And all the ones I know went to good and even top 20 law schools, some even with great law firm e perience who lost jobs during the recession and never recovered. The profession has changed dramatically since the recession, and a decrease in full time jobs is one of the changes that is only going to continue thanks to computers and artificial intelligence. I'm a 53 year old lawyer who really likes my job but there is no way I'd be going to law school now.[/quote]
