[quote=Anonymous]If you recall the early 1990s -- when we came out of law school -- there was a recession and hiring freeze going on in the legal profession, so it was not the easiest time to get a job coming out of law school.

OP asked only if our parents helped to pay for our education, not if it would be more expensive to do so today (obviously).  In addition, my husband and I worked part-time jobs throughout college and law school to help pay for our education and keep down our borrowing costs.

Yes, I think that we can pat ourselves on the back for maintaining a happy marriage for eighteen years, for doing our best to raise our children without family close by to help physically or financially, for working and assuming $120 K in various debt to finance our education -- and paying it off, and for committing to our jobs (I started in government) to get to where we are today.  That requires no small amount of hard work, perseverance and sacrifice.

I wish you an equal measure of personal happiness and professional success in whatever you may set your heart to doing.   :D[/quote]
