One of the reasons I chose not to go to law school. But honestly this is the case for many historically respectable careers now. Everything is decaying. It's sad. I have immense respect for the institution of law and those who practice in it. The juice just wasn't worth the squeeze back when I was deciding. I reject the notion that people should pick careers based only on love or service. We *should* have both and certainly shouldn't worry about money while performing high level skills all day. It's ridiculous. But I'm just bitching now. I'm sure it'll get worse before improving.

I agree 100% my advice is really just practical. You should be able to feed your family while serving, but right now you might have to choose one or the other in the profession. Of course, some of us do really well, but it's far from a garauntee.
If you still get your salary from the fiat war machine you are not feeding your family and community - you are sacrificing them. Mostly over the little insecurities that would show up as soon as you decided for your family to go the other more harsh road.
