The trick for most of us is to leave law and make reasonably close to what you're making in law, or at least have the opportunity to make reaonably close to what you make in law within a reasonable period of time.
I want to change one part of the equation. I have my school loans paid off, my mortgage is not astronomical and although it would be nice to make law money, I'd rather have more free time than more money.

So I'm looking for something that will pay enough to be comfortable but not require more than 30 hours a week on average (some periods of long hours would be OK -- especially in the winter when there is nothing else to do -- if there were offsetting periods of few hours. 40 hours average would be doable but not optimal.

I'm thinking of mediation but getting enough business to be profitable would take a lot of marketing. Does anyone know someone who has a mediation business?
