Mine is an attorney...well he will be once he finds a job (he just passed the bar)

Congratulations! That's a victory for both of you.

DH is an attorney too. As am I, so all our stories are boring to each other.

To Jennifer: He'll find a job! It was a frustrating wait for my DH after we passed the bar, because it took him over 6 months to find a good, full-time job. I'll keep my fingers crossed for him! Congrats!

To Procrastinating: We're both attorneys too. And, while my stories are boring (I'm in corp. law), DH's stories are highly entertaining...he's in crim defense What do you two practice?

DH is in corporate - he deals w/ government investigations into pharmaceutical companies. VERY dull.

I'm in public policy right now for a nonprofit, but I used to be in insurance defense litigation. That was a little more interesting than what I do now.

My family was amused-slash-horrified that I got together with another lawyer - I think they thought I was marrying the male version of me! Big Smile At first, I think they thought we'd argue all the time, b/c we both like arguing, but now they realize we don't argue all the time. Wink We like arguing, but not THAT much.

Edited: wording.

Thanks! That's what I keep telling him. It took me about 4 months after passing to find something too. So many firms these days seem to be hiring w/o a salary...you get what you bring in. That makes me nervous b/c I'd much rather have a steady salary to rely on (especially with all the student loan debt!)

LMAO. I met DH in law school and everyone warned us not to marry another attorney. So much so, that one of our professors mentioned us by name in his graduation speech because we failed to heed his warnings.

It's funny how it works tho. Attorneys love to argue, but for some reason they don't ever seem to argue with each other if they get married. Maybe we're argued out by the end of the day

Insurance defense sounds like it would be really interesting. I'm in Mich. so we have no-fault auto here, and I'd love to see some of their litigations first-hand.

It was fun but very draining. My current job is much better for my quality of life (well, most of the time - this time of year, my current job is pretty much 24/7 too, unfortunately).
