[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father was a big law partner until he retired recently. Although we’ll paid, it was a grueling career with long, thankless hours. What did he do all day? Revised thousands of pages of contracts and negotiations, back and forth for large corporate mergers and acquisitions on crazy deadlines and turnarounds. Supervised attorneys. Some portion of partnership is business generation. He had to travel a lot while I was growing up to see clients, and would basically be gone while a deal was closing. He (and my mom) sacrificed a lot for the job and the money- worked a ton, missed some birthdays, had to cancel vacations, had to work often even when he took a vacation, and it was soul crushing work. While many people work very hard, and for a lot less money, big law is not really a cushy career. [/quote] Maybe to me, might be worth it if I can retire with 15 million. Does he have that?[/quote]
