Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 23rd, 2017 9:11 PM Author: Ruddy Haunting Garrison She currently has a solid GS-13, but may have to drop to a 12 when we move next summer.
She has a 167 LSAT.
No specific plan for post law school.
Used the usual arguments. Need some big ammo from XO. |

|
Date: October 23rd, 2017 9:19 PM Author: Ruddy Haunting Garrison Not considering it. My initial reaction was to immediately shoot it down; but I need to be prepared for her to come back with reasons why she should.
I told her to use it on an MBA. I could support that. |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 9:20 PM Author: vigorous learning disabled range halford Her work is going to be more stressful as a lawyer than non-lawyer. She's going to become even more of a cynic. And people hold you to higher working standards as a lawyer, even if they shouldn't. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3772849&forum_id=2#34513129) |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 9:17 PM Author: vigorous learning disabled range halford I went to a Top-14. At least 40% of my friends who ended up in biglaw dropped out of law entirely by now; many went back to their old, low-paying careers (e.g., journalism).
The public sector lawyers fare better, but your wife is already in fed gov. It's not more glamorous being a lawyer in fed gov than a non-lawyer.

Why is she being so selfish and not wanting to save the GIB for your kid? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3772849&forum_id=2#34513438) |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 10:04 PM Author: Ultramarine Alcoholic Main People For the decision to make financial sense she needs to go to a big firm, and big firm associates have the lowest quality of life of any white color profession on earth. At a time when she should be focusing on motherhood, she will be surrounding herself with, and becoming vulnerable to, depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, sleeplessness, and physical illnesses.
If she goes to a high-end big firm, then she has 5 to 8 years as an economic generator for ruthless people before she is forced to take a job as an economically exploited cost center in a faceless large corporation. Her life will be the same as GS-13 but she will make twice as much money as an in-house counsel and be laid off once every four years.
If she goes to a lower and big firm, the cycle starts after 4 years. This doesn't change much for secondary markets, which have smaller profits to feed but are under much greater economic pressure in the compressed middle market. Everyone can bill associates out lower. It's a race to the bottom.
Any starting position outside of the big firms is uneconomic given her a substantial opportunity cost. Oh and she will still end up a barren drunk. |
