Date: January 25th, 2019 12:38 PM Author: abnormal rose parlour juggernaut Almost every attorney at a V10 or V25 is top few percent in IQ and top few percent in work ethic or ability to grind. Most of them could be doing something interesting or important or meaningful.

Date: January 25th, 2019 12:40 PM Author: Multi-colored Stage There is a strong argument to be made that too many of our intelligent people are sorting themselves into law, when their raw brain power could be put towards engineering, medical research or various other things that would have more broad based benefits.
