[quote=Anonymous]PP again: I went to one of the fanciest law schools. Top five in the country. Most people graduating went to big firms - I came from what I thought was an UMC background but learned there that I was actually a hayseed; I didn't have parents footing my law school bill and I didn't even know what a big law firm was when I started law school. I tried biglaw for a year and hated it, and have earned a very very modest income ever since. No kids, didn't buy a house until I was in my 40s, because them's the breaks.

Anyway, I remember our career guidance person giving a big talk one time about how if you didn't have someone paying for law school, and weren't there on a scholarship, you probably shouldn't be there. I was't in either of those situations. Here I am, 18 years later, stil paying off my loans - but one day they'll be gone, hopefully before I'm 50.

We make choices. Sometimes dumb choices. Sometimes choices that affect how we live for the rest of our lives.
