I’m still in law school, but I just accepted a job at one of the top corporate law firms in the city. Because reputation is so important in the legal field, it would be impossible to find a comparable job in any city I’d be interested in moving to (a low-COL city in a low-tax state). But I’m not sure how long I want to remain a lawyer, and I’m hoping eventually to move to something in business or finance. Given the direction the city is headed, I’ll certainly look beyond NYC.
I know it’s a cliche....but don’t forget that life is short.
I spent a lot of years fighting for something only to finally lose it and find out I was way better off without it.
Ah, alright
I was thinking along the lines of carpentry or construction or something like that.
