Do you really thing lawyers make a ton of cash? I mean, relatively speaking, do you really think that the number is high?
Next, even if it is, which I'm clearly not convinced it is, do you think it's worth it?
I'm personally so frickin' tired of these hours that have stolen my youth. The working until 4am night after night after night seven days a week. I feel so damn grumpy and resentful at the demands on my time, I take it out on cab drivers and wine.
Who thinks it's worth it? |

Think about what you are asking.
What dollar value to do you put on your happiness? On your free time? When are you going to get the chance to enjoy all of the "money" you may or may not be making?
I am a realist. Hard work is a necessary and positive aspect of life. Working really hard to get what you want - great. Working really hard to make a certain amount of money - ? Doesn't seem like brain surgery to me - why work all day and night for a house or a car you never get to see or enjoy?
Life is more than work and life is more than money.
Here is my question - can i be a lawyer and not work until 4AM, 7 days a week? Because I want to be a lawyer, but i want to have a life too.
