Biglaw = Bigliars. Most people in BigLaw aren’t making nearly as much as they anonymously advertise on sites like this. They’re almost always living well beyond their means and operating at the grace of extensive family money.

So, I know some people who say they’re making a ton of money are lying, but some who accuse others of being liars are liars themselves. Or just misinformed. Out of maybe 100 big law attorneys I know, exactly two come from extensive family money.

I think that most families who have real generational wealth wouldn’t encourage their kids to do law. They’d encourage business/finance instead. A lawyer who is making a million dollars a year at a big law firm isn’t rich, he is a service worker for the rich. That doesn’t mean he’s lying about his income.

That’s so weird. I also know a lot of lawyers. Not one of them attended college as a FGLI, not one of them wasn’t receiving significant funding from family to pay for law school, and not even one of them stopped to admit that their alleged success was entirely attributed to family money. Deception goes hand-in-hand with being a lawyer. They’re virtually inseparable from one another.

Very true.

Lawyers do, however, know how to read something, identify relevance, and respond accordingly.

You keep harping on business owners having a better chance of becoming “super rich”. No sh$t. It’s an entirely different risk-reward calculus: exponentially more absolute failures, proportionally much less likely to be a moderately successful low-level millionaire, and a slightly greater but still infinitesimally small likelihood of becoming “super rich”.

In any case, that’s not at all the subject of this thread, so I don’t know why you keep posting different variations of the same statement.

Oh wait, yes I do. Envy and insecurity.

I mean, a ton of people know how to do this. If the only value lawyers add to society is, "they can read and reply," that isn't really coming anywhere near justifying the salaries people are throwing around.

It’s pretty easy to blow that much on a nice house with a good commute, a few kids in private school, kids activities, etc. I think that in this area you would need more like 2M to live the lifestyle you imagine you could get for 1M.

Sighhh. So we’ve now reached the point in DCUMisms that $1 million per year in income is not that much. Lol ok. Wasn’t the “not that much” number like $300K a few years back?
