Wonder how they missed the jobs that we're all fighting over.

"To determine the jobs that worked the longest hours for the least pay, we took positions that require at least 2,100 hours each year and excluded those with a pay of $40,000 or more annually," the writers explained.

In May 2008, the median annual wages of all wage-and-salaried lawyers were $110,590.

Was this OP supposed to be tongue in cheek?

So lets start off with the fact that no firm requires more an average of more than 90 hrs a week and gives 2 weeks of vacation. With a salary of 160K (excluding bonuses) that still adds up to $35 an hour. At an hourly job that gave 40 hours a week and 2 weeks vacation that would be $72k a year. In short, it isn't that bad per hour.

I wasn't referring to the 160k jobs. I was referring to the 40-60k jobs that still require the same amount of work. However, it looks like the thread was a bust. That's ok, I can take it.

Because in reality, most shitlaw jobs don't require the same hours as biglaw jobs. Unless you're solo or something. Because shitlaw revolves a lot more around court schedules.
