Line 24:
Once in college, Helen became a hippie and joined the late 1960s counterculture. While in [[Middleton College]], she met [[Jake Morgendorffer]] and the two began dating. Jake and Helen each had issues with their families and may have connected because of that. After college, the two moved into a commune with friends before getting married in June 1976. Helen enrolled in law school and, like her husband, rejected the hippie lifestyle and embraced the world of corporate America. She has, on occasion, felt guilty about not retaining her hippie ideals (though she gets over it quickly).
Helen became a corporate lawyer, a career that became the focus of her life. Even after she became the mother of two daughters, she continued to work at the expense of her family. While failing to make partner at the firms she worked for, Helen likely became the family bread-winner due to her long hours put in at work, though the exact amount that she earns in comparison to her husband is never revealed either in actual salary numbers or real work hours put in respectively with either parent.
She currently works for a [[Lawndale]] firm called [[Vitale, Davis, Horowitz, Riordan, Schrecter, Schrecter, and Schrecter]]. Various sources like "[[Partner's Complaint]]", "[[The Daria Diaries]]", and "[[Is It College Yet?]]" indicate that she has to defend some ''extremely'' dodgy or frivolous clients, in "Complaint" noting she was being asked to do something illegal and unethical ("alright, I'll do it"), and in IICY? talking about a major oil spill ("accidents ''do'' happen"). In "[[College Bored]]", when she said Daria shouldn't be making money by helping cheats, Daria asked if that meant she was giving up her job, something that severely pissed Helen off.
