Gold Digger

While in San Diego last weekend for the ABA 9th Circuit Conference, us law students were supposed to "network" with lawyers at different tables for a specified time period. After about an hour and four tables later, all subjects seemed to be talked about. At the fifth table, after introducing ourselves I thought I'd try a lighter approach. When asked by a lawyer what we'd like to know, I said, "Tell us how we can make loads of money." I WAS JOKING. But now one else knew. For the rest of the time the lawyers talked about how it wasn't about money but loving what you do. At the very end, the lawyer next to me leaned over and whispered, "Remember, it's not about the money." I'm glad to know that I made such a good impression while networking. At the next table I went to I talked about how I received a public interest grant for the summer... Maybe next time I'll ask what I should do to marry rich...
