Let's pray MTA and TWU work out a contract soon

Here is a piece on New York City transit workers, how they fare in comparison to the riders they serve.
Also, in the same article, it mentions that young lawyers who are getting starting from $125,000 to $145,000. If you can't be a transit worker, a young lawyer in a white shoed law firm isn't such a bad idea, provided you are willing to work 15-24 hours a day and don't sleep at work.

Make sure you have a nice pair of running shoes some where under your desk, you may need them for yet another transit strike.

  3. No. I don't know any white shoe firm. I am not that well connected. Even if you get 70-80% of what's reported, that's pretty good already.

  5. In my view, I don't think you are mediocre. You may think like you are but I don't think your actions show you are. This kind of thing is really relative. The average household earnings in NYC is probably $40-50K or less I don't know.
