<p>“For one thing, international business travel is not very glamorous when you actually do it. It’s not like a vacation where you have a lot of time to explore and experience the place you are visiting. Instead, you spend most of your time working. And eating expensive but unhealthy foods. And staying in an expensive hotel room which is nowhere near as comfortable as your own room at home.”</p>
<p>This sounds about right. I remember the countless times I went to Paris and London for depositions, I couldn’t tell where I was, the hotels all looked the same inside.</p>
<p>I also do agree that undergraduates SHOULD take at least a year or two off before going to law school. It’s so obvious when a summer has never had a job before—they embarrass themselves sometimes, they can be 24, but act like teenagers around partners and not treat their secretaries with the utmost respect (a fatal mistake)</p>
