I thought you were working at the height of prestige. At least your previous posts stated so...

(2) AUSA in Kansas City, MO (my hometown)

(3) Husch Blackwell in Kansas City


Why Husch and not BC, Shook, etc?


This is either someone with a connection to husch or someone who doesn't understand the kc market.

Do we have to be able to live on the salary of this legal job, or in our fantasy world can we be independently wealthy so we can do what we want?

If independently wealthy I would work for the Met Museum of Art or another museum.
Or possibly the Sothern Poverty Law Center

If I needed to live in the salary : Yale law prof.

What's hilarious is the guy who painted Facebook's mural being worth twice as much as their GC. Pwned.
