Lol, this is a good one. I am not usually a snarky poster, but I can't bear not to chime in here and gently point out that being a lawyer ain't really all that. When my graduate program was getting tough I thought about dropping out to go to law school cause it would be soooo much easier. I stuck it out and have a Phd in a hard science, not interested in sharing any more details and sure as sh!t don't walk around like I'm the only one with a brain.

Where has someone suggested otherwise?

Agree. Just becuase there are a lot of lawyers does not mean that people think it is "all that". Calm down, everyone.

News bulletin: I didn't go to law school so I could brag about how smart I am or how much money I make. I have more social skills than the people I know with Ph.Ds in geology or organic chemistry though.

The social skills thing is such a stereotype. Just like 'only boys are good at math/science', etc.

My girlfriends couldn't be farther from this stereotype---heels not Birkenstock, etc.

I actually had a neighbor tell me when she first met me "you can't be a scientist, pretty girls don't go into science'. I am a scientist that works with attonreys all day long---just like scientists--they come in every shape, form, race and varying degrees of sociability. Some I absolutely love..and others...blah.

-What is your job title?
-Where did you graduate from and what was your rank or G.P.A.?
- How much do you make?

who cares about rank/GPA once you're a few years out of school?
- ivy grad, high GPA, can't remember the last time someone asked or cared

Not the poster you responded to...but another Scientist here that thinks body of DCUM is predominantly lawyers and has the view that they are the only successful, smart, $-makers. I work at an agency where most people have the PhD or Masters in Science and then do the law degree later (Georgetown, American, GW, etc) and everyone agrees the law school is a joke compared to the graduate degree in hard science.

Interesting question OP -- I think you get all kinds on OP. I'd be interested in knowing the % of troll posts. But anyway, I digress. To answer your question:

- me -- tier 4 law school
- dh -- tier 2 mba school

combined HHI -- $250k

DH is a Hopkins grad too. He is an independent IT consultant and makes $400k/year.

Hmmm..are you guys younger or not specialized?

Seriously, lady? I don't know anyone in IT that makes $400K/year, your husband, if you are telling the truth, is a major outlier
(I am not the PP you quoted)

Not an outlier...all of DH's friends do. He is not even the highest among them. They are in their early 40s. They are software consultants. Formatting for big companies--Weyerhauser, Oil companies, Coca-Cola, Defense, etc. SAP.
