I'd hate to be a criminal defence lawyer. Your entire role is exploiting loopholes and minimizing the actions of your clients who could be murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and drunks who wipe out families.

Alternatively, you can look at it from the perspective that defense attourneys are primarily there to ensure that the justice system is applied correctly and by the rules to ensure that the innocent are exonerated (and that the guilty are treated fairly). I'm sure there's lots of shady ones, but I think you'll find a surprising amount of altruism in that job. Public defenders ain't making bank.

I feel like that would depend on whether or not you knew 100% for sure your client was guilty or not. If there was even a shred of doubt, for all they know they are defending an innocent person. If they knew the client was guilty 100%, then they are still doing their job by giving the person a fair trial, regardless of what their crime was. I agree it wouldn't be a great feeling actively defending a murderer or whatever but I think the instances where the defendant confesses everything to their lawyer are a lot less common.

This exactly.

My buddies wife is a criminal defense lawyer and I asked her flat out how she is able to do it, this was pretty much her exact reply.

"Whether or not they did it, they still deserve to be tried justly and fairly within their rights, and that is my job, to defend someone when no one else will".

Its fairly altruistic.

Plus people love money

It’s the same as any job that involves competing interests.

That’s the worst assumption of a brag I’ve ever encountered. I haven’t seen her in 15 years, just have a few mutual acquaintances. She apparently is happy and successful with her own office, thus her employment doesn’t qualify for the thread.

I doubt that. We've both been on this site a long time.

Filming you^ two^^ guys penetrating each other in passionate, makeup sex would be the worst high-paying job.

Not this time, big guy. I’ve found somebody else to fill your position that doesn’t interrupt so much.

Divorce lawyers pretty much have it the worst - always win in terms of $$$ - but lose mentally and emotionally. The more anger from both sides, the more money they get.

Tower controllers (not ATC) at busiest airports in Canada (YVR, YYZ, etc.) tend to attract select people who are mentally and physically able to handle the demands of the job. In the US, the hiring standards are MUCH lower and they end up with clowns in the tower who would not even be manning Springbank airport in Canada. These people tend to 'go down the tubes' more than those who are properly vetted. NAVCanada does an excellent job on average and is miles ahead of the FAA in the USA.

Anything high up corporate (not board) in a public company also demands a lot and only those with a ruthless attitude towards people can make it. Anyone else will not be happy up there.

Maybe things have changed since I was an ATC, but in my training class, and the one ahead and one behind me (there were generally 3 going on at one time at TCTI, Transport Canada's Training Institute circa 1993/94, I was 19 when I began training), the VFR bound controllers (tower) were treated like they were in the basketweaver course stream, as opposed to the enroute stream, which statistically was much, much harder to pass muster. I worked at Winnipeg ACC for a few years, and only left for a better opportunity with more $. Back then the union was in a battle with Transport Canada, the fallout of which is why we have NavCanada now. Lots of shenanigans like scheduled sick days and so on - you could work a very light sched such as 4 on 4 off (and only 1/2 your paid work time is actually on the scopes, the rest was union mandated rest time, el oh el). I found my time as an enroute controller to be pretty slack, once a bit of experienced was gained.

[revelations]

The guys and gals in ATC / En-route controllers are highly trained, but as you said, much less operational stress sitting in that darkened room staring at a scope, than sitting ~60m up in a glass fishbowl, making sure things dont go bump right in front of you.

So many more things to coordinate and go wrong on the surface and then add factors like Wx and it becomes an art.

I often had the YYC tower turned on in my office, back when I used to work by the airport, as they had some really good communicators (JFKennedy Steve-type) and some who were robots.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ThePenIsMightier again.

Can't talk now, trying not to interrupt.

[ThePenIsMightier]

I wouldn't have to interrupt their ferocious, frothy thrusting so often if they didn't keep their taints so shiny. Just another reason why it's such a shitty job.
Hire a "Cameraman", but expect him to also take on Art Director and Gaffer. Then complain when he needs to shift angles to avoid glare!
I cannot work under these conditions.
