I suspect that there will be lots of responses by the end of the day! This is a topic near and dear to my heart, but it's going to take me some time, which I don't have now, to get my thoughts down coherently. I suspect folks want to think before they write.

Long story short, I did leave the rat race about 10 years ago (partner at large law firm and company general counsel to independent contracting attorney who works part time). I'm very happy I did it, but I also think you really have to understand what you're getting and what you're giving up.

More later tonight (after the Italian class I now have time to take ).
