Whose starting law school in the fall?

You can easily work 40-60 hour weeks at top midwest firms if you're willing to work for $100k to start.

I don't know about that, at least not for me. I'm at a "big firm" in the Midwest, although not 'prestigious big', per se. Last year I was 60-70 (with a few 80s of course). This year I'm more 55-60.... and in disfavor with the partners, too :P

True that.

I was like Jdanz when I got into it. I was willing to forego salary for less hours and quality of life. Problem is, the choices for me have been pretty much-- work like a dog and make good money, or work like a normal human being and make poverty wages (factoring in debt and all). No in-between.
