The same could be said of being a Hollywood movie star. The takeaway would be the same: that succeeding in the profession is NOT just a matter of working hard, but of winning a long shot lottery IN ADDITION TO working hard and having the talent. Also, the reason doctors make so much more is partially due to the fact that the number of slots in medical school is limited.<br /><br />Chances are, this attorney is just scraping by. If you're doing well, you typically don't want a person who needs to be waiting tables and selling blood to make ends meet - you want to pay people enough that they can work for you undistracted. If his business implodes, there goes the recommendation.Barbara Ruth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799097040002221934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-5408374931412894652010-05-08T14:53:27.834-04:002010-05-08T14:53:27.834-04:00I also had an offer similar to that after graduati...I also had an offer similar to that after graduating law school.<br /><br />A solo female lawyer was very enthusiastic to hire me. Based on her location, I assumed she was charging $150-200 per hour. She was very nice and said that she was very busy with her practice.<br /><br />I was very excited about working for her but never really talked about salary. She just kept on bringing up that she was very busy and we would work great together. I asked her the hours she said 8-6pm daily and then half-days on Saturday to catch-up. I was eager until she told me the salary $24,000 (before TAXES!). In my mind I thought I could make more if I mowed her lawn. <br /><br />I know a guy who is a landscaper and he makes $50,000 a year and only works 8 months; and he is a pothead. <br /><br />I never called her again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-43178910749809022452010-04-21T20:48:54.817-04:002010-04-21T20:48:54.817-04:00I worked for this guy (Katz) a while back.

It doesn't matter how MANY lawyers there are; what matters is how many people out there are more employable than you are. <br /><br />This is going to sound nasty, but it's not meant to be: you just can't blame your lack of employment and/or professional dissatisfaction on the fact that third-tier law schools (or third-tier lawyers) exist. If you were more worth hiring than they were, then you'd be a working lawyer and they wouldn't be. It's that simple. <br /><br />You make your own opportunities in life. School doesn't define you. A law license doesn't define you. The majority of you guys are sitting on a website complaining and blaming everything under the sun for your unhappiness but yourselves. <br /><br />Don't take it personally-- just change your perspective, make your opportunities, be patient, and make yourself indispensable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-68180938585941206392010-03-20T21:58:23.983-04:002010-03-20T21:58:23.983-04:00You guys are looooosers!

Filled with graduates willing to work for free, and willing to enter the land of law school deferrment and forebearance - unless mom, dad, a partner, or a trustfund is backing them. That said, the preceding offices, including NYC Law Department, are filled with former BigLaw Associates willing to work for free, as well.
