Only live once! Life is too short. However, don't forget the obligation to yourself and family. When things are not handed to you, but you have to earn it, you definitely will treasure it more. Work hard and play hard!!

Eat cup-o-noodle everyday and drive a 3GS, or eat sushi everyday and drive a camry?.......Hmmm........ I'll take the cup-o-noodle! It's all a priority thing, right!

Yes, I admit, I have a "car problem"!!

All kidding aside, I am certainly not telling people to get a car they can't afford. Set a goal and work hard, money will follow. sorry.... just my 2 cents..

God, I am old!!

Alright, this calls for the heavy anti-lawyer artillery:

I won't be getting any help from mom and dad, just the company I work for.

tucker max was a failure at fenwick and west....there was noway he was going to get another job at a prestigious firm....he had one summer to look at the life of what a lawyer does..yet he feels he can pass judgement on the entire profession. IMHO he was simply rationalizing.

Haha I'm not here for a flame war, but he does make some good points, if you ask me. I'm your typical letter-of-the-law super-precise engineer, and people always tell me i should be/should have been a lawyer. But as my sig says, I love cars, and now I get to do cars for a living, for a company you (and more and more, me) are fans of.

32, bought mine in 05, added the gx to the family this year, most gs owners are older in so cal, many women. BTW this poll is skewed, i bet most gs owners odnt even get on a pc at home, maybe at work and to check their stocks....

good points can be made from any perspective...my point is you cant expect to start out wokring for a top notch firm doing incredibly exciting things...you have to work your way up...the legal profession is too complex for someone to simply boil it down to reading over mundane and boring documents.
