[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't mean to hijack, but I don't understand the number of lawyers who are unhappy, but act as if they can do nothing about it. I have a friend who hates being a lawyer, but claims she can't quit and do something else because of loans. But then she lives in a big house in Bethesda, drives a fancy car, goes on expensive vacations, and has a nanny for her daughter, even though her husband works from home and they could easily use much less expensive daycare instead. Stop bitching and make a plan, people. This is your life. If you're miserable, do something about it. [/quote]

I'm not unhappy all of the time, just about 50 percent of it, so perhaps I am not your target.  I do think about wanting to do something else, or being better suited to something else.  I don't have a big expensive house, I don't have a lot of loans.  I just have no idea what else I want to do, and many lawyers don't really have skills that would be easily trasferrable to another field.  I can absolutely earn less money, but I cannot earn no money, and I can't invest in additoinal education at this point.  But again, I am not miserable and like what I do some of the time.  [/quote]
