Survey on the Economy

[kandrathe]

In this case it seems to be in fun - thus the emoticon - so I don't mind.

Some... Lawyers have socially redeeming value. :)

My wife's brother had a Phd in Chinese literature, then decided to get his JD, passed the bar, and helped represent plaintiffs where their employer tried to deny them workers compensation for on the job injuries (eg. one fell down an unsecured elevator shaft and became paraplegic).

He ended up fighting the good fight for a few years until he became disenchanted with the system which allowed employers lawyers to stall, and delay, and deflect for years and years while the plaintiff suffered and sometimes died. So, he quit lawyering, and started his own software company, and eventually sold that and became an IT director at a company that makes software for lawyers. He also built (with help from friends and relatives) his own earth sheltered house on some land his wife inherited in Wisconsin, with self sustaining geothermal heat source. I helped him set the bricks for his floor.

But you know what they say?
