[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer PP here. I am not saying that my JD prepared me for child rearing. I am saying that the same qualities that made me successful at my career make me a good mother. I have been good at school, sports, well, most things, my whole life, and suspect many of the DCUM working moms are the same way. I am good at learning things, a hard worker, like doing things the right way without short cuts, etc. That is what makes people successful in all areas of life. Why on earth I would believe that the (maybe) high school graduates who do not speak English as a first language would be *better* at taking care of my kids who are learning to speak, think, etc., is beyond me, so when people say that of themselves, I cannot understand it. I understand what your preference is, but please stop acting like despite being a straight A student, varsity athlete, obtaining multiple degrees, speaking multiple languages, etc., like all of the successful and competent moms out there, you just would be doing junior a disservice if you tried your hand at child care. [/quote] You are a poor writer and an angry, bitter person. So yes, it is no surprise that you are not practicing. You were a mediocre lawyer who did medocre work at a third tier firm. You were never going to make very much money anyhow, as even your third tier firm would have counseled you out at sixth year, if not before. No one cares that you left. Go scrub your toilet. [/quote] Ha. I worked at two top tier firms and left when my part time salary was $225K, to the firm's disappointment. Kiss my ass. [/quote] Lie. Total lie. But I know your type -- you actually have convinced yourself that your third tier firm was "top tier," and you actually think they liked you. (But you know, deep down, that they didn't. And that is part of the reason you left. You were never going to cut it actually PRACTICING law. You could get by as a junior associate, but then you were done.) Admit it. It's so obvious --- who else would be SO defensive about their choices? Who else writes "kiss my ass"? (Other than a disgruntled tween.)[/quote] Not the poster you're responding to, but do you even realize how ridiculous you sound, bragging about "tiers" and playing the mean girl on an anonymous board? So sad.[/quote]
