ILTA WHITE PAPER: JUNE 2015 WWW.ILTANET.ORG
6
The spring issue of Peer To Peer is filled with authors who have 25+
years of experience in the legal profession. Are we gluttons for punishment, as
cynics might say? Or are we all about the Benjamins, since legal tends to pay more
than many other industries?
Whatever the answer, the fact remains that longevity is common in legal.
We co-authors have a combined 60+ years of experience; and, reflecting back,
we recognize where decisions beyond our control challenged our options to stay
in legal and how we both worked hard to stick with it.
Navigating the
Waters of a
Job Change
Read the author bios in any ILTA publication and
you see a trend: industry longevity.
