12. I never wanted or had any desire to be at the top of the pile in BigLaw

like a lot of people in my class did. A guy I was in a study group with first year is the lead attorney at Skadden Arps for Rupert Murdoch's mergers and acquisitions. I'd gouge my own eyes out with a screwdriver before I'd work for Murdoch, but I suppose the $10-12 million he makes each year eases any pangs of conscience he may have. Another classmate said "I intend to be extremely rich and I don't care how many bodies I leave behind me on the way." He went into investment banking and is now an Imperial Grand Poobah at some big NYC investment bank, Probably makes $20 million per year.

I wanted to eventually land a nice, medium-sized firm, have an interesting practice and make a nice, upper-middle class income. I knew I couldn't do the kinds of things you have to do to get really rich and never had the slightest inclination to be fabulously wealthy. But the first question every firm in my hometown asked me - as a Harvard Law School student - was "where did you go to high school?" The suburb I grew up in was exclusively working class and lower-middle class. Redlining by zipcode. The Harvard credential meant nothing to them. You can take the boy out of the working class but you can't take the working class out of the boy. So long, sucker. They slammed the door, bolted it and then dumped the Greek Fire on my from the top of the wall.
