[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Op, unemployed lawyer here. It is entirely possible that she was pushed out of her job, given the current market, and just doesn't was to admit it. It's also possible she is depressed about the situation but doesn't want to be whiny about it so is putting up a good front. The legal market sucks right now. I think you should withhold judgment.

Plus one. How do you know if she is applying for jobs or not?
Plus, she saved money at her job post college and from her law firm. She went thru three years of law school, passed th bear, and spent several years in big law. Doesn't sound like a slacker to me[/quote]

+1. And you don't know how brutal big law can be unless you have been there.  I managed to stay for three years but nearly killed myself doing it.  I rarely got home before 11 at night, pulled all nighters on a weekly basis and worked almost every weekend.  Fortunately I found another job but I often considered leaving before finding one to save my sanity and physical health.  OP, don't be so judgmental.[/quote]

I am not the PP but this thread is not about you. Yes... most people think you Big Law is stressful people are a bunch a big babies. So many professions have worse hours, worse working conditions and not even close to the same pay. Stop sounding like an entitled brat! Collect trash, nurse the ill, go to war .... then come back and tell me how "stressful" your law job was.

I get you did not like it, and you are wealthy so you got to just "got out" ... lucky you. Grow up.[/quote]

Shove it. Just because there are other stressful jobs doesn't mean law is any less stressful. Collecting trash? I have respect for all kinds of jobs but collecting trash doesn't create the same stress that closing a $1 bill financing does. You just sound jealous because of the pay. [/quote]
