So over at Feministe Jill asked what would you do if your law firm paid you $80,000 to not work for a year. The question's background can be found over at Law Ingenue for those of you who haven't heard of Skadden's offer to its associates.
So what would I do...
Well, several ideas come quickly to mind like:
- getting and being pregnant in a low stress fashion,
- traveling the world with only a backpack,
- live in the country with a house full of dogs,
- gather all my friends in far away places for one hell of a party,
- MUSEUM HOP!
- live in Tokyo in spring,
- find the best coffee shops and read good books in them,
- take cooking lessons in Thailand and India,
- have one hell of a spa day,
- do all of the above with J.
You?

April 15, 2009 at 11:00 AMThe more I hear about these deferral policies, the more I wonder what I would do if offered one. I think I would pick #1 on your list!- gudnuff said...
April 16, 2009 at 6:48 AMI'm being paid more than that to keep a chair warm about 75% percent of the time. It's a nice gig if you can get it. So what do I do while I'm not doing much? Blog, baby, blog.- Anonymous said...
April 16, 2009 at 9:11 PMPay loans, if we're being realistic. In a fantasy world, I'd be in Tokyo for the spring like you suggest.- A. Marigold said...
April 16, 2009 at 9:43 PMAll of the above. But really, I would apply it all to my student loans and make #1 much more doable. Otherwise that's quite a few years away.- A. Marigold said...
April 19, 2009 at 1:20 PMI'd pay off most of my student loans. Then I wouldn't care if they let me back on or not once the year was over.- Anonymous said...

April 25, 2009 at 6:24 AMI'd write a book and probably foster some dogs.
