The old-timey prose is more appropriate than the speaker can possibly imagine. He still thinks law is an elite path to success, rather than the soul-degrading billable hour hell it is. He does get one paragraph /almost/ right. What a dick. Which is it? Is every incentive wrong? Or is that thought a chicanery? > I wish that I knew. I could tell you—and I would mean it—that when you find an opportunity to trade a little money or status for a lot of freedom, you should take it . . . you should take it every time. But that thought—although honest and heartfelt—is a chicanery, akin to insisting that the rat-race is over. The fact remains that, for each of you individually, all the forces that have brought you to this point remain in play. Every incentive is wrong.
