Yeah, but I don't want to. If I wanted to fuck with contracts for a living I would have studied law. And believe me, that was an option I got pushed towards as a kid.

I can believe that, actually, Steven says after a moment. It's one of those very respectable jobs that make people good money.

Good money to help support the family, he says, with a wry twist of his mouth above his hands. But only if you break into the field, and I'm already at a severe disadvantage that most people won't look past even with actual discrimination laws. At least with publishing I can make my own choices on who I have to work for, for the most part.

Well, yeah, Steven agrees. Plus, lawyers are supposed to talk all the time and most juries are not known for being full of people who know sign.
