[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer and work my tail off and don't make much more. Yet not one feels sorry for us.[/quote]

+1. Lawyer for 3 years, $60k, one week off per year and no retirement contribution. To contribute to the education discussion, though, DH makes $58k as a 5th year professor of English at a large public university (not in DC, we are in NC), which I also find pretty meh. [/quote] The starting salaries are comparable to most other professional careers. The problem is the lack of growth over the years.[/quote]

Fair enough. I'm the PP and it's true that my potential for salary growth over time is much greater than my husband's.

His potential for better quality of life is greater than mine, however, as he does get two months off in the summer, does not have to account for every second of his day with billing, has a lot of flexibility with when and how he works, and will not have to contribute a large portion of his salary to retirement contributions.[/quote]
