As a regular, old, non-college graduate who never had any sort of definable career (just jobs) and is happy to be a SAHM, but who is looking forward to the end of child raising so I can go into real estate....

I'm APPALLED that law firms expect so much out of people. There's more to life than money. I say take the VI gig, because you don't have to do it forever, and it may lead to something better, and must certainly be more life-affirming than working 100 hours a week for the rest of your life. Plus you get to visit the Virgin Islands on the company dime, AND work from home! Doh! Take it!
