David, with all respect you are really out of touch with reality. Do you have any idea how many attorneys there are in this country that struggle to make ends meet? And do you know how many attorneys take a paycheck because they are unwilling to take a risk and go it alone? Actually hard work is a great indicator of success in law.

As for meatpacking, my dad was one; I suspect if you asked him he'd tell you that my job is way harder than his ever was. Perhaps not as hard as an academic who doesn't have to pay his staff but still pretty hard.
