[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't tell you how many Jews that I know who would shrink up and die of embarrassment if their children did not become doctors or lawyers. I know of one family who disowned their son because he went to the fire academy.[/quote] The experiences of individual members of a group do not reflect the experiences of an entire group. (Or, my favorite new DCUM phrase: "The plural of anecdote is not data.") Jewish people I know--whose parents are very proud of them indeed--are teachers, artists, musicians, professors, scientists, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and, yes, even doctors and lawyers. Although most lawyers I personally know are Protestant.[/quote] Yet there is an old and very wise saying in the legal community; "If you are in real trouble always hire a Jewish lawyer".[/quote]
