It must be a stressful job. I hope you are well compensated for it. |

| BigLaw litigator is very stressful and often leads to a shorter life (check the obits, or look around at your firm) leaving anytime is a good thing, but most that I know who did relocated or took in house counsel. |

I make okay money. Mid to high 5 figures. It's not Big Law money, but I love my job. I guess it's stressful. It makes me tired. I am not stressed all the time the way I was in Big Law, though. I couldn't sleep when I was practicing law. I was stressed out all the time, regardless of whether I was at work or not. Nursing doesn't do that to me. I work my shift and I go home. |

I could. I don't want to, though. I hated being a lawyer. It was a miserable job with miserable people representing miserable clients. Eff that. I gave all my suits to a thrift store charity when I quit. It felt like I was taking off a chain. |
