Where to NOT spend time: [b]hanging out with lawyers,[/b] anyone who does PR, lobbyists or Hill types

Yes to nonprofits, making friends with former Peace Corps volunteers. Don't laugh, but I began to love living in DC when I escaped the Hill bubble I was in and made friends with a bunch of RPCVs. Career Feds, think tankers (but they have other obnoxious tendencies) or anyone in a mission-driven career are also all over DC in droves.[/quote]

I’m a lawyer and not like the woman described. But I do see these traits in lawyers? Why?? [/quote]

Yes, I'm a lawyer as well but not like this at all, and find these qualities in other lawyers so exhausting.

My theory is that the inherently combative nature of law tends to attractive competitive people, and then the culture of law school and legal practice encourages their competitive behaviors.

Meanwhile, I thought I was kind of competitive but then went to law school and realized I didn't even know what "competitive" was. These people scare me -- I chose the wrong profession. I think I should have been a kindergarten teacher or a physical therapist or something.[/quote]
