    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, but who wants to fail a bar exam because they lost points on an essay question about Home Ec? You still have to spend time understanding those subjects backward and forward.

    Sample Home Ec essay question on the bar exam:

    If you had a worker retire due to medical reasons, clearing space below an industry mandated spending cap, but a competitor hires the worker, restoring that worker's salary figure to your salary structure and thus reducing the amount of money you will have under said spending cap, should you sue your competitor for negotiating in bad faith or should you let the cake bake? If you feel that the correct legal strategy is to let the cake bake, what fan temperature should you allow before taking the cake out of the oven and allowing the built-up steam to vent?

    My job is considered part time like 25 - 35 hours a week but it keeps me busy with events going on.

    No category in your poll for us self-employed types. I'm still hanging in there, but my income's down probably 30% since the housing market fell apart.
