Date: April 13th, 2025 3:06 AM Author: david copafeel Let’s just say you had the choice of big law at today’s going rate or working construction that is very physically demanding (iron worker, millwright, etc.) at 50% of biglaw pay, but in a much lower COL area. Which option would you choose? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5709770&forum_id=2Elisa#48842111) |

And, the going rate, guaranteed employment for 5 years, I could make like $2.5m in that time. Let’s say that nets to me at $1.75m. Less $900k for living expenses. So I’m at an additional $850k saved/invested. That gets my house paid for and my kids into better schools and I can peace out after.
