Please do not flaunt the cost of your schooling as some sort of barometer for your value to society or your level of class, as it is a very poor indicator of both.

But I didn't!


Thanks for the warm wishes.

I get paid well doing something that I love, and something I can look back on with pride at having created something of value. I doubt I would get any of those from a career in corporate/civil law. Maybe criminal law.

My dad's a chemical engineer. You guys are smart as balls!

But, I disagree with you assertion that we don't create something of value. Every product out in the store has been copyrighted and/or trademarked by lawyers. The company that created the product did so through financing made possible by lawyers. The store selling the product was created and financed with the aid of lawyers. We create a LOT of things, just not things of physical presence.

You are FOS. I certainly hope you plan on politics, because you certainly have the gift of spin.You couldn't argue your way through the alphabet in a courtroom. You say you aren't arrogant and narcriissistic? Look at the self importing post above this. How the HELL do lawyers "make possible the financing" to create every business(I'm sorry, you said company) that exists. I won't waste my time with you anymore. GET A LIFE!

As for the taxpayers money goes, don't be coy. You know as well as I do that if you make a" qualifying"(for the anal retentive in the crowd) donation to charity, you write it off so you don't pay taxes on it. Less income less tax. Of course you have to attain a certain level in the tax bracket before that becomes viable, but you've certainly made it clear you're in that situation.

and what is wrong with this? how is this spending the taxpayer's money? you are simply spending less of your own money on taxes. which is reasonable, given that taxes are supposed to be an individual's contribution to society in return for what he gets. if he chooses to give away some of what he gets, why should he still have to pay for it?

Sent PM..don't want to crap on this thread.

I guess the entire speech you should have received from your parents about " It is very rude to discuss your finances with others " missed this guy...

Nah, that's only for co-workers. You're never to discuss it with co-workers. Either you or they will be p|ssed off when you're done!
