[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm my experience, family oriented guys don't have careers, they have jobs.  When I left my law firm for a federal government,mother managing partner has me how I thought the move fit into my career plan, but I made the move because it fit into my family plan.  My father had a career, I want to have a family.

It is hard to have a career and keep family a high priority. After 2 years clerking, 6 years as an associate and 5 years as a partner, I realispzed that I could not be the father And husband I wanted to be and have a "career".  [/quote]

Yea. Because you went into law. Many of us work in other fields and have a successful career and family life.

My DH is in sales and brings home a mid six figure income and works exclusively from home and only leaves the house to go on sales calls. He coaches travel sports ( was a D1 player) and gets the kids off the bus each day because I work out of the home. He could never do this as any sort of attorney. He only has to produce results, not clock hours.

It's why I find the while back billable hours thing as a metric of performance laughable. My father was an attorney - trial - an Air Force pilot in the reserves a the same time. His results were trials won and lives saved.  He did coach the Little League (even sponsored the team) and was highly involved with all his kids. He did not do the cleaning, but he did laundry and did all the "man" jobs and went out with his buds and washed football, etc.  in fact, football and sports was ione of the things my parents had in common and you be of the bonding experiences my mother missed after he died.

My father, and maybe I, may not be a "family man." I do not think there are objective measures. [/quote]
