She's 23, and yes bossing the Central League stuff, but what realistically is her potential ceiling?  A regular gig in the ALW at best??  So around max $40-60K for 6 months??

Law is one of those professions where (insidiously some might say) your career hierarchical pathway is very clearly mapped out early on. Put in the large hours as a junior, and maybe in 10 years you are a partner, where the big bucks are. A very much delayed rewards sort of career, chipping away at your hefty student loan in the interim, increasing your billable hours so that the partners take notice.

Not really a profession where you can take 6 months out to play football, and ask your work mates to manage your files in those 6 months. Similar trying to be part time 20 hours a week or something. You likely only get offered those flexible hours when you are more senior and/or a mum (if female).
