[quote=Anonymous]I was a partner in Biglaw. I retired early, thank God, because I hated every minute of it. Virtually every partner I knew sent their kids to top privates, more often than not the ones nauseatingly referred to on this board as the Big 3. There's was no way in hell I was going to risk exposing my kids to my partners' kids and have them turn out equally as clueless and self-possessed, plus I didn't want to risk running into any of them at school events. And while I don't keep close eyes on my former partners' kids accomplishments, from what I've gathered most of them didn't end up any better off by going private -- same colleges, similar jobs after graduation, etc. Plus I was able to retire more than a decade early because I didn't mortgage my life on private school tuition![/quote]
