[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another firm that pays for people with technical PhDs to get a JD is Wolf Greenfield. They all go to Suffolk law nightschool. My impression is that you can make a ton of money if you make partner, but most don't. Regulatory work (which is what I also do) pays well, is less stressful, and doesn't require a JD. One other thing to consider - do you actually want to practice law?[/quote] This is an important point. Do you actually WANT to do the work of an attorney day in and day out. Having excellent academic credentials, being used to working hard and willing to devote all your time and energy is just the minimum required at places with the much higher pay you are seeking . All the people hired at for example BigLaw would have similar qualifications. But the pressures are a killer and turnover is high. Getting hired is just the start. [/quote]
