I agree. The think there’s a strong argument that you can go into Big Law and still achieve a lot of good; but it’s pretty unclear whether an equally talented and altruistic person would do more good earning to give than going into public interest law. Also, as Alasdair points out below, personal fit is going to be a big consideration.
