[quote=Anonymous]"All the rules?" It sounds like you ended up exactly like anyone else who followed those same steps even 2 or 3 generations ago. It's called "genteel poverty." You're not really poor, but your clothes, house, car are never going to be the newest brand names, and you're not going to retire to the Riviera (or whatever the equivalent is these days). Your peers will be living the high life because they decided to focus on money, while you decided to focus on a career of service. It's not a bad thing, but it's hard to understand why you thought it would get you to money. IMO, in these times of income inequality, you should do the service career for a few years if you really want to, then focus on maximizing income for a few years. Or do it the other way around (as a friend of mine who went to Columbia law did). [/quote]
