[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister is a litigator and did much the same.  She is (we come from) a tenaciously argumentative person, which is good, because her IT husband is a know-it-all-jack-hole, and she can go to the mat with him (and win).  However, her being tenaciously argumentative (and logical) is how she is (and the rest of our family is) by nature - it made her suited for law, being a lawyer did not make her into that kind of person.  The point here is: some people are sociopathic or narcissistic assholes by nature; that may make them well suited to be a politician or a lawyer, but being a lawyer does not turn them into this kind of person, and you find those people in all walks of life.

She too checked out of full-time litigation in order to be able to have a better work/life balance when her kids weren't yet in school.  Once they were in school, she went back full time.

I think this is the only generalization you can make about being married to a lawyer: [b]they are often married to their jobs; their work/life balance sucks.[/b]

I am a STEM guy, and I have a decent work/life balance; DW is a physician and does not (and I am the primary parent).[/quote]

People who have good work/life balance don't often make a decent amount of money. [/quote]
