    Law Firm is not a Professorship

    Speak for yourself. I have been a lawyer in private practice for almost twenty years and have found it to be exciting, rewarding and fulfilling. I have had the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of many small and mid-size business people. Additionally, I founded a software company in my spare time with the managing partner of the law firm. We recently sold this company for a sum which allows me to pick and choose what I want to do for the rest of my life. I am also an "old maid" and have always felt that I can make a more positive mark on the world helping grown-ups than raising children. That said, God bless the moms of the world. As these postings indicate, they are taking a hellofa risk.
