I have a few concerns though. I am married and hope to have kids one day. Do you find it hard for most lawyers to find time for both work and family? And what about hobbies such as travel? <br />Any insight you can give me would be very appreciated. If you can email me sometime @ james.bryen@me.com I would very much appreciate it. <br />Thank youJamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-32602959981643975142007-10-29T09:55:00.000-05:002007-10-29T09:55:00.000-05:00great... i guess! i have always wanted 2 be a lway...great... i guess! i have always wanted 2 be a lwayer, but after reading this it sounds frustrating. but that wont change my goal of becoming one! and thanx for the information!<BR/>love, malloryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-55099365426724152742007-05-08T00:07:00.000-05:002007-05-08T00:07:00.000-05:00Wow, good luck finding yourself & what you really ...Wow, good luck finding yourself & what you really want from life =].

My profession has not been an issue at all with the men I've dated nor would I expect it to be; I've gotten the "intimidated" bit a few times from men I've dated, but it wasn't because of my profession but more b/c I was confident and independent, I think. Have you gone on second dates with the attorneys who asked you that?Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-85087006529032681652007-05-05T00:56:00.000-05:002007-05-05T00:56:00.000-05:00Good post.About your comment RE: reactions to guys...Good post.<BR/><BR/>About your comment RE: reactions to guys finding out you're a lawyer, I have some thoughts on that. <BR/><BR/>The way I was raised, doctors and lawyers were held in the highest esteem, followed by your accountants and engineers and those types, followed by everybody else. I assume this is pretty much how most other upper middle class kids were raised. <BR/><BR/>As an "aging" single dude, you start to run into more and more single women who are "professsionals" (doctors, lawyers, etc.). I guess because I'm just some dude, not a doctor, lawyer, acct., or otherwise, they expect there to be some issue with what they do for a living. In my experience, the issues that professionals put on their relationships is self-imposed. I don't care how much $ a girl makes; that would be pretty shallow imo. And any girl who thinks how educated she is or that how much money she makes should/could/probably intimidates guys is only creating a concern where there otherwise wouldn't be. I mean, I've gone out with multiple female attorneys who, on the first date, will ask something like "Are you intimidated by me because I'm an attorney?" Wtf? Why would I be? I didn't care before, but now I guess I should.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant. I just think being an attorney or doctor or teacher or garbagewoman frequently isn't an issue until the person makes it one.Snake Diggityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238996588395071980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-8134681592686995652007-05-04T23:25:00.000-05:002007-05-04T23:25:00.000-05:00Aaron: In comparison to most of the world, we're b...Aaron: In comparison to most of the world, we're both extremely wealthy. <BR/><BR/>Leiselb: Thanks.<BR/><BR/>AM: Yes!
