S A SUMMER associate at a New York law firm, you’re probably getting advice from all directions at once. We’re all like favorite uncles when confronted with young professionals on the verge of successful careers. If you can stand just one more well-intentioned effort to point you in the right direction, take a moment to listen to Uncle Barry, certified financial planner and sometimes columnist.
You’ve chosen a career field that brings with it generous compensation packages and long workdays. It has probably cost you more than a few dollars to get to this point, which translates to some pent up demand for “the good life.” Law school is demanding and expensive but now, here you are, a summer associate, with the promise of some nice paychecks and the possibility of even larger ones once you’ve donned your graduation cap. As dull as it may sound, your first step is to make a plan.
