[quote=Anonymous]Both my grandfathers were coal miners, my parents both grew up poor during the great depression, I was the first generation in my family to go to college, and I was in big law for 10 years before I had kids. I agree with a lot of what the other poster said above that millions of people have it a lot worse than lawyers doing big law. People in real poverty, people without the means to dig themselves or their families out of nowhere towns with nowhere jobs in a tough economy. People in big law have a lot of money, so they will always be better situated to change their situation if they want to. That said, I far prefer the law job I have after taking time off to raise my family -- less 24/7 accountability, less money (though still over $100K), more freedom, more family time. Big law was stressful and also had a negative impact on my self esteem and family life. These weren't insurmountable problems, but they made me unhappy. Things are better now.[/quote]
