[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1388315, member: 1242"] There are businessmen in every profession. You, sir, are not just a lawyer but also a businessman. I have worked for some very astute businessmen with law degrees who couldn't lawyer their way out of a paper bag with the end left open. I have also worked from some brilliant attorneys who were literally living paycheck to paycheck. And although I am not a lawyer I tend to go with the "go do something else" advice also. Law degrees are good for so much more than lawyering. I worked with a kid at OTC who failed the bar exam his first time. Boeing picked him up doing some technical research and writing. Last time I talked to him he still hadn't sat for his bar again ... My gosh, why should he? He was making 3 times the money his classmates were as junior associates at a couple of the biggest firms here in the city. [/QUOTE]
