Doc one of my lawyer friends is worried about inviting another friend who went to work for the fed gov to a happy hour. Why do you lawyers have to ruin everything

Federal legal jobs are sweet gigs. You don't get rich, but you typically don't have to work very hard (unless you're in a high-crime-area US Attorney's Office like D.C. or New York or Miami) and you have great benefits. Plus if you do want to make money, a stint with the feds can be a good springboard to a big firm or in-house with a megacorporation. I have a friend who began his career as a lawyer for the FTC and then he jumped ship to do policy work at Intel and Amazon where he's a VP of some hoity toity thing or another.

But lawyers are generally insufferable twats, I agree.
