    For older professionals, do you value money, or intellectual stimulation?

    I think your chief concern is about my "motivation" of wanting to earning 20K per year( tax free?). One reason is that "i can". My parents are making that kind of money, and they say, they want to give the business to me. In the long term, I can probable increase the profit margin, and expand...

    For older professionals, do you value money, or intellectual stimulation?

    I have no problem with dissecting complicate passages, or drafting highly detailed documents. Those are fun things i normally like to do. This is the chief reason i would excel at law schools if i ever want to go. I don ` t like top law firms precisely because people needing the "right" answer...

    You are so bad in absorbing details is amazing, and not to mention a complete in inability to spot the main point.You said "What other people say clearly have no bearing on your decisions, as evinced by your refusal to understand numerical evidence that you won't be making $200k as a lawyer or...

    For older professionals, do you value money, or intellectual stimulation?

    I think you capture my feelings regarding top law firms with "boring annoying job". I actually love the law, or rather, the use of critical reasoning, and textual analysis in analyzing passages. I love reading debates in the talmud, and one of the reasons i want to go to law is because it is...

    The graph actually makes no indication of " fresh out lawyers in 2006". Even if the graph represent "fresh out lawyers in 2006", it does not at all determined the "expected value" of my income. Here is why: There are many low-level law schools, and many more people that are not at the top 10%...

    ^ I am not impressed by the numbers. What the numbers don` t tell us is the trade-off. I read that a lot of corporate lawyers actually don` t want to be corporate lawyers, and something like half of the doctors want to leave the profession in the next 5 years according to one study.

    Are you sure about that? I am thinking about going to law school at 27. My lsat score is 175+, and i have good soft. I think i can score a 189-180 in the next lsat exam. I have good interview skills, and outgoing, so i think i can get into a top law firm when i get out. I imagine, i would still...

    For older professionals, do you value money, or intellectual stimulation?

    You said "if you go into one of these just for the money" as if to imply i only care for money, but that is not true. I said money is important, but not a sufficient reason for me to pursuit law, or medical field. There would not be a "dilemma" if i only care for money. You said "The best...

    Well, i know that my parents are making 10K+ per month in a slow week. 4K is a bit much, but the business is expending.

    For older professionals, do you value money, or intellectual stimulation?

    Ideally, i want to be making 200,000+ tax free when i am 30. Also, that would be the minimum if i go work with my parents. I think you misunderstand my dilemma. If I only care for money, i would be working for my parents. I don ` t need to think about it. Even if i pass every single actuary...

    For older professionals, do you value money, or intellectual stimulation?

    I want to ask a non-technical career question, and I would like to be respondent by people with 10+, or 20+(ideally) years of working experience in professional high earning fields( professors, lawyers, doctors, bankers, engineers). I am facing a dilemma. One the one hand, i am not making...

    I don ` t understand Hawking` s answer to Why this particular set of laws? .

    I actually read a lot about "anthropic reasoning" in college. I know what is needed for the argument to work. One of the things you need is an actual multiverse. The type of "multiverse" varies with different authors. In almost all cases, the multiverse itself has a defined structure dictated...

    I don ` t understand Hawking` s answer to Why this particular set of laws? .

    I don ` t see what you say here addresses my point. I claimed that you were mistaken to suggest anthropic reasoning is the right framework to explaining "why this set of laws?", because the latter question addresses the multiverse as a whole, while the anthropic reasoning is useful in explaining...

    I don ` t understand Hawking` s answer to Why this particular set of laws? .

    If you do understand Hawking`s third question "why this set of laws?" as dealing with the "form of the basic laws", and not the "constants of nature", then why would you use anthropic reasoning in your first post on this thread? If you are more informed, you would know that all anthropic...

    I don ` t understand Hawking` s answer to Why this particular set of laws? .

    Please don `t pull things out of context. I said i don ` t understand Hawking explanation to "why these set of laws?". Hawking specifically means the "form of the laws", and not the damn constants. Typically, the whole reason some invoked the multiverse postulate is to explain in some non-divine...
