[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What specifically do you hate about practicing law, and how old are you? Are you willing/able to go back to school? The not being able to take a pay cut really limits options. [/quote] [b]I don't make that much,[/b] I'm not a biglaw attorney, [b]I make in the 120s[/b]. I hate the combative, argumentativeness of it. I hate being expected to clean up everyone else messes. I hate giving advice that no one follows and then they look to you to solve their problems. I also hate my boss, but thats another story. I'm in my 40s.[/quote] I have a lot of sympathy that you hate your job - working is miserable when you don't like what you do and it can poison many different parts of your life, but you are completely out of touch with reality. $120K is a nice salary for a 40 hr per week job with good benefits. My DH is in biglaw, so I understand your point of comparison, but take a moment and count your blessings - which include a very nice income and work-life balance. [/quote]
