Why I Want to be A Lawyer

Exhibit 1:
It's very early, but it's true: Cravath, Swaine & Moore announced bonuses today!!! Here are the numbers:

Class of 2007 -- Year end bonus $35,000 (prorated), no special bonus
Class of 2006 -- Year end $35,000, special $10,000
Class of 2005 -- Year end $40,000, special $15,000
Class of 2004 -- Year end $45,000, special $20,000
Class of 2003 -- Year end $50,000, special $30,000
Class of 2002 -- Year end $55,000, special $40,000
Class of 2001 -- Year end $60,000, special $50,000
Class of 2000 -- Year end $60,000, special $50,000 (same as 2001)

This is on top of a base salary of $160,00 thousand for the class of 2007. I could definitely work with that.
