Come see me in ten-years. Either you will have drank the kool-aid and will be on your way to partner, or you will realize that weekends and nights can be useful for activities other than writing briefs and preparing arguments. I chose the latter. Leave work before five and and don't think about it again until the next morning. Used to defend insurance companies...I am still trying to buy back my soul.

Now, I work for a company near and dear to the law student heart. More of an attorney/author/editor/journalist covering the wonderful world of Government procurement law. And, yes, I'm still licensed...VA and MN.
