I know one of those. It does seem easy. But being a state judge would suck. The politics, the constant need to behave appropriately. Seems lonely, isolated.
Being a fed judge seems a lot cooler. But even then, you're thinking about legal crap all the time, being careful to avoid appealable errors, playing ref in an adversarial situation.
I think the #winning circle are those dudes who go to work for a client and get a piece of equity in deals. Some of those guys go from being a billing machine to being FU rich. And they don't seem to be brainiacs. More opportunist types who lucked into a good risk and took it.
