[quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer (govt). Been at it 11 years. I get decent performance evaluations, win most of my cases, and am liked by my clients. However, to be perfectly honest, I think I am a below average lawyer. I hate that. I always feel like I don't know what I am doing. Lately I hate most parts of my job, especially the contentious aspects (litigation) I see the work that other lawyers in my office do and am very impressed. I don't think I measure up and I certainly don't have the drive and energy that they do.

I am ready to get out of this job. I am grateful for it, but it is just not my thing. I dread coming to work. I just don't know what to do next. I need to work if I stay in this area. We are considering moving from the area so that I don't have to work full time. However, if we leave the state, I pretty much lose my ability to practice law since there is no bar reciprocity with the states were are interested in.

It feels good to confess. I welcome any suggestions for what to do. I regularly consider job hunting but don't know what I am qualified to do other than lawyer or paralegal. [/quote]
