Partners have it great. They:

  1. Function as entrepreneurs
  2. Love the freedom and flexibility of being a business owner
  3. Have clients who love them and vice versa
  4. Do work that is challenging and interesting
  5. Have staff to delegate work to
  6. Mentor young people
  7. Have tenure, just like professors (well, not officially)
  8. They make great money, way more than they ever thought
  9. They have almost no accountability (pardon the sarcasm!)
