The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

oh.... I forgot to add "lawyers". I hear they make pretty good money- at least many of them do.

Yeah, but what about the top lawyers, the big guys, the top dollar white shoe lawyers?

Federal Disclosures: According to OpenSecrets, lawyers and law firms heavily favored Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential cycle, contributing over $47 million to her campaign.Large Law Firms: Studies analyzing major corporate law firm ("Biglaw") donations indicated that roughly 92% of political campaign contributions from those specific legal sector analyses went to Democratic candidates.

and that was for the last presidential election as well.

My point is not to say that all educated Democrats make money, though many do.

Rather, it is to say that your characterization that says educated democrats are mostly low earners who made the mistake of taking too many basket weaving courses in college is false.
