legal sanity

I’ve previously posted on the alleged work ethic divide between seasoned lawyers and newcomers to the profession. The topic is again put on the table via this article from CareerJournal.com; this thoughtful post by Chris Bailey at the Alchemy of Soulful Work and this one from Kathy Sierra at Creating Passionate Users. Because they consider it from different angles, the three commenters afford us a well-rounded view of the issue. Notably, despite their different vantage points, they all suggest that the emergent generation gap derives as much from the demise of the “job-for-life” world as it does from the rise of a collective view of “work as secondary” to a meaningful life lived “outside the office.”
