We want to hear from you This week, we noted a story of a onetime lawyer who late last month took her first vows as a cloistered nun. One obstacle Tara Clemens--now Sister Marie Dominic--had to address before taking those vows was paying off $100,000 in student loans. Clemens accomplished this after seeking and receiving help from the Laboure Society--an organization that helps individuals who want to become Catholic priests, sisters or brothers pay off student loan debt that would otherwise prevent them from joining religious life. Financial obligations drive a lot of our decisions. This week, we'd like to ask you: If money were no object, would you stay in your job? Would you pursue a different type of legal job, or apply your skills to a completely different calling? Answer in the comments. Read the answers to last week's question: Do you still take time to go out for lunch when at work? Featured answer: Posted by Jr Associate in CA: "I eat while chained to my desk. Can't spare that billable time. Regardless, I've never been one to buy my lunch, brown bagger for life."
