hahaha are you serious Midwest?  god/goddess physiques?  Wow, that is crazyiness.  I went to some of the recruiting events, but really did not like the atmosphere of those things sometimes.  It felt like the people interviewing you or the job recruitment people were so robotic or something.  Robots that spit information out.  Good luck to you man, keep your head up and keep fighting. 

I think in the previous posts somewhere we talked about all this and looks, and people were saying that it might apply to women more than men.  I'm a guy so lets hope so,haha

There is no limit to how much you can make as a partner outside of Big 4.  Depends on how many clients you have.  I had a boss at old regional firm with 4.5 million worth of his own clients, and I can assure you he made more than 400k a year.

Yeah, that why I said "maybe" thats as high as you get.  But I agree with your point, there is a ton of money to be made outside of the big 4.  For some reason, colleges make the big 4 seem the the only opportunity.
