 Sure, there are those who say this is a sell-out’s way of making it easier to sleep at night, but I actually have put in those hours volunteering and trying to make a difference at the grassroots level. From my personal experience, I find that making and donating money is a more efficient way of contributing to society. I agree with Adam that if this means working incessantly for a few years at Biglaw, then it would be worth it. At least until I have the funds and connections to open up women’s clinics, I wouldn’t mind pawning myself to Biglaw and paying some bills along the way.

Just donate wisely.
