I'm almost 44. I screwed around for one year after college, working in a furniture restoration place, then I started temping at law firms as a paralegal and got hired after temping for about 6 months. I always planned to just do the job for a couple of years, but they kept promoting me. And then by the time I hit the middle management glass ceiling, I was getting like 4.5 weeks of vacation a year. I didn't want to leave and start over with only 2 weeks a year somewhere else for just a little more money. Now I get 6 weeks of leave a year.
