COLLEGE TUITION
My Uncle Ed is a personal injury attorney in Chicago. I imagine that he does pretty well, because he has managed to pay tuition for three children to go to out of state colleges, and each one of them has a luxury car or sport utility vehicle. They also always get to go to all sorts of exotic vacation spots and every winter they go on a cruise. I know that he started his own firm with another attorney from the old firm he used to work at. Because his partner is Latino, they have a large Spanish speaking clientele. His oldest daughter, my cousin Jennie, is currently in law school at John Marshall, and she also works for him in the summertime. His middle child, Anthony, is also interested in going into law, and plans on working for his fathers firm part time this summer. He only wants to work part time though, because he also vends at Wrigley Field. This summer he is finally 21 and can sell beer, so he will make the big bucks. I really do not see my youngest cousin, Lauren, going into the law profession. She does not seem to take too much interest in the families law discussions.
