Is it a glorious irony that you're more likely to succeed in the legal profession if you have questionable ethics?
Someone wise once said that the trouble with success is that it is defined by people who are workaholics....

I work to live. Never ever will i live to work.
I havent had as much as 48hrs away from my wife since i was 18 and i would feel terrible if i was away from my kids for any longer too.
Sorry, but for all the toys and big houses people deem important, i pity people who work like this. Even if i dropped down dead tomorrow i can honestly look my family in the eyes and say i put them 1st, even over money.
I know there are people who have to leave their familes to earn a crust, but what you guys are discussing is career prgression and extra money. Not my thing at all.

My wife is bloody good at what she does (civil engineering) and is making fast tracks up the career tree. I (traffic engineering, whatever the f£$% that is) am happy idling away without much progress, but making good money. Sprog #1 on the way, and I can't wait to retire and be a house husband, which suits everyone. Bring it on

I don't think career progression and money is the best thing but then I'm not a hunter gatherer....
I downsized to a job on alot less money but with no more line management no reporting to a board of trustees and ALOT less responsibility and I love it I'm happy to come to work on Mondays now and I don't spend all Sunday miserable I now enjoy them.
You alter your life to fit round what money you've got whatever you've got you'll alway run out just before payday like everyone else

Do it now otherwise you'll be back on here in a few years asking the same question but with kids in the equation too.
