[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is biglaw really the life you want for your child?  DH is a partner in biglaw and would hate for either of our 2 kids to go into biglaw.  DC has gone on occasion to DH’s office and says the lawyers just look lifeless.  Biglaw means canceling vacations, 80 hour workweeks, missed events, etc.  DH can barely make it to a doctor’s appointment sometimes.  The firm basically owns you, even as a partner.  [/quote]
I've never seen this energy for people's children who want to go into "business" at top school aka IB with 100 hour workweeks. If biglaw is her goal, I'm here to support her. She is a hard worker and a bit on the neurotic type, and I know she can achieve what she wants.[/quote]

Because business has become more flexible. I am Mba in finance and DH is attorney. Even in my early years, I could flex my hours enough to take a vacation. DH had to work EVERY SAT and hit a billable hours requirement.  I hear things have eased a bit but if your daughter comes from a wealthy family she has SO many better options![/quote]
