Decided to get married and have kids instead of pursuing an MBA, so I wanted to say good luck to the rest of y'all. You'll kill the GMAT!

Congrats! How’d you make the decision between the two/was it mutually exclusive for you? As a woman I think getting married and getting my MBA doesn’t have to be one or the other. Have to plan kids before or after MBA though (ideally after).

Anyone else been in a big slump lately where you feel like you can’t even stomach what you do for a living, and like you’re not making any impact whatsoever? Just pushing paper around and being difficult with opposing counsel when at the end of the day, the cases will settle anyways? I used to feel purpose in what I did and pride in defending claims but now just feel like it’s a big waste of time.

Not going to lie, but watching every single thing blow up in the GOP's face this election cycle has been cathartic. The tactics, the narratives, the pride, the complete confidently incorrect understanding of how elections work, the racism, the ignorance, the religious invocation and now the regression to old scare tactic baseless talking points. And it all happened right in the middle of the staunchly conservative South.

All of it.
