I think you are confounding government lawyers with SES types. One of the deals when you take that kind of job is that you LOSE your weekends as well as your opportunities for a business on the side.
well, from my observation of many years, many if not most of the kids sports teams coaches/scout leaders are federales (and thank God for them!) so they seem available most eves and weekends. I don't know who's SES, who's a govt lawyer, who has a business on the side, their grades, or any of that info ... just not the kind of questions I ask people. But they have to have pretty well-paying jobs to live as they do in this area. Many Colonels ask for a transfer out of here as soon as they settle in and find out how unaffordable the DC area is.
