Hillary was a smart girl. Had she dumped Bill in time, she would have gone back to Chicago or to some other big city — anywhere but Arkansas — to practice law. She would probably have joined a big firm, as she was always chasing the money. (Bill was glad to have money but, for him, it was an afterthought.) She would probably have made partner. The question is whether she would have stayed with it, chasing the big bucks, or dropped out as so many female attorneys (and doctors) do. That would probably have depended on whether (and how rich) she married. She would never have gotten into politics because she doesn’t have the temperament or people skills for it. Either way, she would almost certainly have been much happier than she is now. Marrying WJC was the big mistake of her life.
Then why didn't she manage to pass the DC bar?
