Im in toronto. dont know nearly as many lawyers as hydro but the ones I do know don't recommend the profession. I often visit a friend in his high rise after work. He looks like he's gonna shoot himself then says his favorite line: if it wasn't for the money, no one would do this job
and he's one of the lucky ones making good dough. an ex of mine worked in civil litigation...her hourly wage would likely convert to McD type wages...
The overall career satisfaction rate of this profession is incredibly low (any surprise here?)
Well covered in the following article:
http://www.torontolife.com/features/exile-bay-street/ a good article I read before about a lawyer dissing the profession.

I'm no economist so can't comment on the us economy tanking...but doesn't SnP's recent warning about downgrading US bonds have some meaning??
