[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After a few jobs out of law school, I finally landed at a finreg attorney. The only thing that drew me was the increased pay and benefits. I am realizing that I am depressed, and I think a lot of it has to do with my day to day job. Feels like Groundhog day every day yet its stressful as well. I do feel very grateful that I got this position, but I am depressed. I can get some enjoyment in finishing to-do lists, and finishing the day, but I don't derive any enjoyment beyond completion of a to do list item.

I am considering doing a non-legal role or a totally new area of law within the finreg, but I think deep down I know I won't enjoy being an attorney anywhere. Or, am I just experiencing what is the norm for most adults at their jobs, and to appreciate what I do have. I just feel like the years are passing by and I'm just stuck in a job where the only enjoyment is finishing to do lists. [/quote]

I think most people feel very unfulfilled in their job.  You don’t have a boss threatening to fire you or making it toxic? You don’t work long hours? You are already ahead of 80% of adults. [/quote]
