[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I'm a first year associate so I guess I qualify as an eager puppy or something, but hell yes I love what I do. Litigation is very mentally satisfying. Yeah the hours are long, but who doesn't work long hours? No matter what profession you're in, people work hard. So I don't mind the long hours too much - I genuinely enjoy the challenge of my work.

And on a more shallow level, a lot about it satisfies my more egotistical side. I love the money I earn, the beautiful office I work in, and the great political connections that my firm has in Washington DC. This is a great place to start a career.[/quote]

This was fun to read. Come back in a couple years . . . let's see your soul then (I also was an eager beaver as a first year biglaw guy, then my soul died)[/quote]

This was me for the first couple of years too. Fast forward 30 years and I've changed careers and so has my fellow lawyer DH.

IMO law is intellectually rewarding and (sometimes) financially rewarding, but I needed a job with emotional rewards too. I have that now and have never looked back.[/quote]
