My mommy and daddy did not give me a penny for college or law school if that is what you are wondering.

Parents split up when I was 13. Raised by a single mom after that. Been self supporting since I was 17. Worked my way through college as a blue collar laborer -- offset lithography, pre-press department. One class a semester if I had a day job, two classes a semester if I had a night job. Did not start law school until I was 30. Worked all the way through law school, but as a law clerk, not a blue collar worker. Navy blue suits and shiny shoes, not blue jeans, dirty hands, and breaking my back leaning over a light table all day long.


we have much in common there...

Just picked up a light table for my daughter LOL
