Olivia, I feel that tension between the money of BigLaw and happiness elsewhere. I mean how many of us have searched houses on Zillow in neighborhoods we want to live in and think "damn, now that would be a life," or the thought of buying your parents something you know they denied for themselves in order to care for you. I'll admit it I do it most nights before I go to bed and it serves as a great deal of my motivation. However, the reality is that the cost to get to that path, something that I think we all relate to, might be higher than we bargained for. Personally, though others have done and continue to do the BigLaw path and live to tell the tale that doesn't answer the question we all have of whether or not this is the path for me. I have no answers either but, at least we are addressing the problem.
