As a medium time lawyer I have to say its a lot more fun than a big time lawyer. Sure, the big timers make more money but they all do tax law or personal injury. It's all so fucking boring. I'd much rather defend rapists and drug dealers and pederasts than have to sort my way through an accounting ledger.

I'm starting to get nervous about the move, but I know it will be good long term. We're heading to the new town this weekend to look at places to live. Based on our poking around online, I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll find something in our price range in the area we want, so that's encouraging. Worst case, we find a nice apartment for a year or so while we get our bearings.

The big time plaintiff's lawyers have it a little better but it still seems like it would suck, and most of them seem kind of scummy since it seems like they can just throw whatever they want at the wall and see what sticks (and then the defense lawyers have to waste a bunch of time disproving absurd things). I don't think I am scummy enough to do the corporate equivalent of personal injury.
