 How do I figure out what I want/need out of life from a purely financial point of view? I guess the answer to this is of course is that I need to look into myself, but I'm certainly worried about trying to balance the things that I would like to do for myself and the burdens that I will willingly assume (a family, etc) down the road.

Can I really live on 30k a year? (WendyHuang)

  • From ages 6 to 13, I lived in a household with a combined income below 40K. The 2006 median household income was about $48K. Since first year public defenders make about 48K, I can't imagine you would be making much less after graduation if you choose to use your law degree. But, even if you do, you will have the same chance of survival as I had. Given that 1 in 4 American families have a combined household income of about 25K or below, you won't even be that poor. -- AdamCarlis 22 May 2008
 I eventually want to have children, and so one concern I have is how to use my law degree to financially support a family in the New York metropolitan area. Besides working at a large law firm, are there other career paths that pay you enough to raise a family with some sense of financial security in one of the most expensive regions in the country?
