Guys, Imran lives in Atlanta, Georgia, not rural Georgia.
Incidentally my dad's law firm is based in Atlanta. I've been there a couple times, I think it's a nice city

I was under the impression you were roughly ~30 and got married ~2005 (though I'm very fuzzy on that date, just remember it was quite a while ago...)

Thought he was in Savannah...? Ah well, still much lower COL.
I've been there a few times for work-related stuff. It sucks.Incidentally my dad's law firm is based in Atlanta. I've been there a couple times, I think it's a nice city

You really just have no idea what you are talking about.Entry level lawyering tends to suck (not for those who are at the top of their class of course)
If your friends tell you they are enjoying being biglaw associates (especially in new york) they are either lying or really, really uninteresting people. When they are counseled out their salaries will crash.I would not consider that to be relatively well. As an fyi, everybody I know with a Jd is making 160+ (living in nyc). That is relatively well, though not spectacular.
Here's what top of the class at all law schools except Yale and Harvard gets you: $160,000, workweeks ranging from 80-100 hours, constant pressure to bill even when taking a dump, having sex or taking a shower, seamlessweb to make getting fat completely effortless, a parade of dull and mostly unnecessary assignments that exist solely to help partners defraud clients, obnoxious coworkers who brag about having access to a car service when hitting on women, and an addiction to horrid, pretentious blogs like Above the Law that remind you instantaneously of every grisly associate suicide and stealth layoff that occurs is the continental united states.
And probably stupid **** that reminds them that they're lawyers.

I wanted to shame his parents for bailing on him but they don't have their own facebook accounts.

My parents got married around that age, not much older anyway. Why's that a big deal?

If I got a law degree I would go for JAG in the Army. Shorter work weeks, they pay your loans, and you start off court-martialing kids for meth on day 1.

A friend of mine did that but they did not pay off his loans. It was Marines. I'm pretty sure they don't pay off the loans anymore, or maybe that's just Marines. He likes his life far more than any biglaw associate I ever knew ever did.
JAG lawyers are shitty. The ones that actually do their jobs ("being an advocate for their client") get shitty FITREPs.

In the Marines they get to go on patrol.
You shouldn't get your data from JAG, the TV show.

Savannah's not rural either.

I didn't say I would take a lawyer job; the pecking order is accountant, lawyer, consultant, banker, trader, hedge fund, private equity. Duh.

No definitely not. They have lawyer marines, much less gay and much more rigorously trained.
My dad was 29 and mom 21 when they married. 40 years later and they're still happily together. Age (past age of consent issues) isn't really indicative of anything in a relationship.

I have no urge to denigrate your parents' relationship, however in general that relationship will be far less mature/deep/serious than one between two 25 or 30 year olds

Same here.
You clearly have not seen A Few Good Men
And Wiglaf, 4 years ago, the Marine Corps introduced a college loan reimbursement program that paid like 1/3rd of your loans by adding an additional 6 months to your service obligation. That doesn't exist anymore. The USMC generally doesn't offer the benefits like bonuses, college loan repayment, etc. that other branches do. "We don't promise you a rose garden" and all that.
