[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you just take a leave of absence while you raise your child? Big law is NOT worth it. The $$$ is not worth it. [/quote]

Because I pay ~7k a month to student loans. Mistakes were made.[/quote]

Oh, I'm sorry--I didn't realize that. How many years do you have left on that loan?[/quote]

About 11 months!  :)  Minimum payment is less, but I try to dump in as much as I can. [/quote]

NP here but it sounds like you owe about $77K or $80K to make it even.  You could also refinance the loans and just pay a little less each month if you wanted to.  I mean, this is your health and sanity we're talking about here.  Also, you said your DH left private practice but he probably makes at least $100K and you probably would make at least $100K if you went elsewhere too.  Maybe you pay off the loans in 2 or 3 years instead of one but that's not the end of the world.

Anyways, certainly stay if you want to but maybe it takes some pressure off you knowing that you don't have to stay if you don't want to.[/quote]
