A) DC. BigLaw to start, but eventually I'd like to get into lobbying.
B) Corporate/Commercial law in either ATL, Nashville, Raleigh/Charlotte, Charleston, or some other southern city.
or
C) Win the powerball.

I will probably stay in Chicago with all my family and friends but I would be willing to consider Colorado or Arizona if U of A or U of C take me. I like both those states from what I can tell from visits.

I'm also in the Central Valley, and it confuses me as to why anyone would WANT to end up here. I can't wait to get out.

That's cool. Are you thinking somewhere like Hong Kong or Shanghai?

i'd love to practice in either DC or NYC...

i'm leaning towards public sector work. the main reason why i want to go to law school is to defend/uphold/implement (or whatever other relevant verb) anti-discrimination/equal employment opportunity laws and policies... found a bunch of interesting positions with the government. ultimately, i'd like to be the chair of the EEOC

I would love to end up in Seattle or Portland...NYC, Chicago, or Boston would be my second pick. I just hope I get into the University of Washington or a top 14 so this can actually happen.

Wouldn't mind HK/Shanghai, but would really want to go spend some time in Japan. Did a 3-year stint in China, so that's probably a more realistic place to end up.

Haha. I totally get you where you coming from. If I were to live anywhere in the Central Valley, it would be Fresno. I could not imagine myself living anywhere else in stinky cow town.

Minneapolis or maybe Chicago. Not BigLaw, just comfortable.

Teaching and writing books at some well-respected school. Like to live in a smaller town with decent CoL, so I can afford a big-ass yard with a gigantic garden (and a greenhouse!).

Heaven. (unfortunately I think biglaw is a highway in the other direction.)
