I just got sworn in as an Attorney in Washington. I am kind of stoked, as maybe, just maybe, this means I will be able to afford the student loans, and some time get a house, and maybe I will be able to pick up another piece of infi.

Based on my loan repayment amount per month, over the life of the loan, I could buy a 1/300 SHBM with a nice sheath every month for the next 25 years. That is, if I could figure out how to change my identity, and still get paid as a lawyer. I could just tell my wife all those payments were going to loans, and that for some reason some mystery hog just keeps donating really nice knives to me every month.

Congratulations on joining the ranks of the scum-sucking bottom-dwellers! Sort of. I guess.

When I was in law school, I always heard about how much money I was going to make, but I found that I didn't really have much of anything left over for guns and knives until after the wife left.
 
Congratulations!!!!

With a promising career like that you may need only one extra part-time job to afford all the INFI you'll want!!!! :D :D
 
Way to go BigFatty:thumbup:. Very few people understand the amount of work and dedication it takes. Finishing law school and passing the bar is an amazing accomplishment you can be proud of the rest of your life.

The volume of lawyer jokes will go up three fold now that you're official. Lawyer jokes are the most ironic thing. There would really be very little need for lawyers if people in business and in their personal lives would just do the right thing.

So what are you going to do with it? Criminal or civil? Plaintiff or defense? Courtroom or corporate counsel? The options are endless.

Oh by the way, you may notice your friends and family being a tad more aggressive when dealing with others. They now have a "free" lawyer in their back pocket;). You'll probably be doing some pro bono work whether you want to or not:eek:.

Always remember, you're not just a lawyer, your a doctor as well!

My sincere Congratulations!

Congrats Bigfattyt!

Do some good within that profession! There are good lawyers, not a lot of them, but there are. Always room for one more!

Great accomplishment.
 
congratulations!!

i know you have put in a lot of hard work and long hours toward your goal!
 
Thanks for all the kind words of support.

To answer a few questions,
Especially coming from the Boss at Busse (by Boss I mean Amy-O) and the Janitor (and by janitor, I mean the inebriated guy who answers the phones at odd hours)

AMY-0 hopefully you won't get in trouble, and need a defense attorney.

I worked for the County Prosecutor's office for a semester while I was in law school. Right now, I am working criminal defense (have been working as an intern since taking the bar for a one man firm), both private, and one day a week as on a public defender contract (the good thing about the private work is that you can pick and choose who you will take, and what types of crimes you don't want to take).


Mike Fitz, the knife wielding lawyer thing is funny, I always have infi at my office. I have not rescued any bunnies, or a bus load of children, but the evening before the bar exam this summer a group of us was standing by the pool talking about the test the next morning, I had to dive into a pool and rescue a 4 year old girl who was drowning, and I was wearing a mean piece of infi then (my pumpkin GW on the front of the belt, there is still bits of pool in the screws and on the sheath, from hitting the bottom on the dive because I though it was 3 foot, but where I dove off the edge actually was 2 feet, where the girl was it went deeper).............Good Carma, and we joked that at least if I did not pass the bar exam there was a good reason for being there.

if you look closely at the GW sheath, you can see a blue round scratch on the top of the sheath, and if you look really closely you can see blue still stuck in screw heads

Hopefully I can be a good lawyer (as in a decent person), and improve some people's opinion of us (lawyer jokes are always funny, unless they are jokes told by actual lawyers, then they tend to be dry, and often not really have much of a punch line).

I have known both good lawyers and really crappy lawyers.
 
most of the lawyers ive met (pd's and da's), seemed to care about their work and did their best in an often thankless job.

this is odd, since as a cop, most people think i dislike the pd's, and get along with all the da's. truth is, the problems i have had have all been with da's. go figure.
 
I have had a lot of interaction with both Prosecutors (obviously as I worked there) and with PD's. There are A-holes in both sides. The court where we have the public defender contract once a week we are friends with the police officers that run security, and with the prosecutor so no hard feelings on either side.
