We have trusts set up that will be managed by a bank trustee (it's a small town so it's not quite as anonymous as it sounds) with a family member advisor. They won't starve, but will have less family contact. I am hopeful the older one may make it socially if he can stay out of trouble. His hypomania tends to get him jailed and hospitalized from time to time.
I think it was Will Rogers who said a man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be. I am pretty adaptable, and it's amazing how the bizarre seems commonplace after a while.
We have a second home in another part of the country, so we get away from the daily personal conflict for a few months/year.
Nevertheless, it's hard. In the early days of all this we went to about a million support group meetings. Invariably I was the only man. The pattern was for the husband to split while the wife kept the kid at home trying to "fix" him. See Sandy Hook.

Ah, now I get it. Sometimes I wish I had married later and traveled more as a young single person. It would have been hard, as I was from a poor family and had to pay my own way. Maybe I could have been more adventurous? I find it very hard to find retrospective regrets. For every choice I made that I might have made differently there would have been different outcomes. Can't say I feel like I particularly missed anything.
One thing I lived with that is now gone was military conscription. The draft really limited young healthy males' options. You either were in school, working in a deferred category job (though that went away, too), or in some branch of the service. So between 21 and 25 or so options were reduced. Also, the economy went totally to shit in the early 1970's.
Sorry to be so boring. I really have trouble finding regrets.

The best thing about the bort is that people speak honestly and bluntly. Of course there are schticks being run, but it has the feel of a late night college bull session. I am surprised at what seems to be a predominance of conservative political views.
I have enjoyed Calishitlawguru's descriptions of his PI practice. The humor is good, and I enjoy the camaraderie of all the insults. The most interesting thing is how the hopes and fears of the people on this board are so much like the hopes and fears of my generation. Some of these discussions are like an instant replay of 1975.
It's an interesting on line community. The fact that it is relatively unmoderated is a huge plus.

Just reread your Dec 2017 thread, so I was wondering, how did you walk away from law? Did people just do that kind of thing more regularly then? I feel like now with all the debt andwhat it takes to get in, people find it hard to walk from biglaw without an escape into in house or something else.
Also, do you think there's a point in which someone's too old to change careers to get the best out of it? I'm thinking of either law school or CS as a career change at 32. I've dicked around for 10+ years (making no money, doing not much, am in academia now in a useless social science field).

I just really hated practicing law in a large firm setting. I discovered that after working at a firm after 2L. 3L I started a business with a friend and didn't go to class much. Worked in law one year after graduating while getting the business off the ground. I didn't have much debt. LS was much cheaper then. I had a scholarship at H and GI bill, plus I worked part time, so debt was minimal. I had about $5K ($30K in current money) in undergrad debt, but it wasn't bad. Also, I made more in the business than in a law firm. However, law pay has gone up a lot, at least in the top tier.
I would not recommend law school unless you really think you would like practicing law and can get into a top program. CS is academically much more challenging. Law school is ridiculously easy. I think the computer tech world is a young person's game, but that's just my impression.
What did I hate about law? Mind numbingly boring work and the apprentice structure. Had I gone to LS straight out of college I might not have minded, but I had a grad degree and 3 years in a pretty responsible job under my belt, so it was shock to be treated like a grunt. I was intellectually able to be a lawyer, but my personality was not a good fit.
Since you are in academia, have you thought about moving into university administration? Salaries are sky high in the larger/more prominent places.

I'm sort of tempted by the salaries being offered. I've considered university admin as I'm a lecturer now with a PhD. However, it strikes sort of a dead-end position where I'd cynically push papers to collect a decent paycheck. To me, it'd be akin to joining the municipal government for the stable paycheck, hours, and retirement.
It seems as if you had a pretty good sense of yourself then. You never were that tempted with regards to the rewards of striving for partnership or anything like that in law? (It seems like the scuttlebutt here implies that when you were in law in the 60s/70s/etc, those were the golden years when you could just keep your head down, grind, and then make millions as a partner - would this be accurate to assume?) Also you never considered starting your own firm if you didn't like the big firm structure?
I know the cynics on this board would eviscerate me probably for wishful thinking but the idea of making six figures and then hitting larger rewards down the line in law is pretty tempting to me right now. I earn like $30k a year now.
You're probably right about CS. It seems like by the time I'd finish with re-training in my mid 30s, I'd be an old fogey in the field. Credentials like a PhD or prestige seem like they matter far less.

How should a man in his early 30s with young kids and a mortgage balance the desire to stay in biglaw to stack cash and take care of family financially against the desire to leave for a job that would allow more time for family?
Anything you wish you'd done differently when your kids were young? Could it have prevented the mental issues.

A non career related question: when did you decide to cheat? Did you go out of your way to seek opportunities to do it or did they just arise - did your attractiveness to women go up as you got older? Or is that xo flame
Have you ever used escorts/prostitutes? Any thoughts/advice on this generally?

How do you cope with aging?
How would you balance work life? Would you stay in a government job that pays 80k but only works 10 hours a week that has a pension? Or would you go back to a firm to make 200k+ but your work hours would be bad?

"Haven't had sex in the past year or two" means that you HAVE had sex with a woman in her late 70s.
Aren't they completely hideous at that point, how can you even work up an erection? Are you attracted to any women in their 70s?

Odd/vapid interests overwhelm "intellectual" interests. Have been a ham radio operator for nearly 60 years. Hard to be odder and more vapid than that. Accumulate (rather than collect) old electronic equipment, though I do have something like a collection of certain vintage electronic items, all of which are in use. I enjoy diagnosing and fixing vintage electronics when they break. I can understand the schematic diagrams, don't need a logic analyzer, and can see the parts.
I like cars - own 7 of them plus a tractor. 2 vehicles are pickups. Yes, I haul stuff - have acreage.
Do a lot of vegetable gardening. Eat it and give it away. Spent a lot of time perfecting a critter proof fence.
I am still professionally active on a part time/consulting basis. Is that "intellectual?" Hard to say. I am down to one client (a firm), and fill a kind of "of counsel" role in which I can either bring in my own business or help others. Get paid either on fee split basis or hourly, depending on the need. Requires some amount of travel, so that is always entertaining.
Read a fair amount and tend to keep up with various scientific trends, though my math is rather rusty. Also spend quite a bit of time on a volunteer board (addiction services). I have really enjoyed that gig and have learned a lot. I think my business/finance experience has been helpful in that role and like feeling that I am of some use to somebody.
Spend some time managing my own investment portfolio.
I have a lot of friends with whom I talk and correspond frequently. Many hours spent with family. 35 of them were here for a New Year's party.
Fixing broken things in the 4 houses I own sometimes feels like a full time job.
Do not like video gaming - burnt out on Atari asteroids, etc. around 1980. Did write one game myself long ago for which I programmed the Atari graphics co-processor. It was a gravity well spaceflight game.
I spend a surprising amount of time helping other people with their problems. Sometimes I feel like Marlon Brando at the "Godfather" wedding when he is holding audience with all the people who want favors. I guess I should feel proud, but sometimes it gets a little too much. I really don't like dispensing advice, as I am not even sure about telling myself what to do. Sometimes folks just need someone to listen to them. Did not see that particular hobby coming.
