Chasing Money . . .
As a senior in college with an application pending at Harvard Law School, I watched the movie the Paper Chase at the cinema in Harvard Square. I had committed to going to becoming a lawyer in elementary school. Although watching the Paper Chase did not positively reinforce my choices, I did go onto receive a wonderful law school education (despite being rejected by Harvard) and engage in a happy legal career. Despite anything I may have written on my law school application about wanted to save the world one client at a time, I was not motivated by public service or the desire to make sweeping changes in society via my role as a lawyer. My professional choices were not to follow the trajectory of increasing economic reward as I made choices promoting my autonomy and engaging in work I could do competently with a minimum of drama and stress. I just wanted Monday morning to arrive with eager anticipation rather than dread, hoping what I did worked economically.
