I know a couple of lawyers who hated practicing law so much that they took jobs as paralegals or law librarians. And a bunch who left the field altogether.

Yup, I'm a law librarian.  When I worked in a federal agency, FIVE attorneys over the years asked me how they could get my job..   Have to laugh about that...[/quote]

Well you know one now. I'm a legal secretary and no I don't want a JD. Graduated from college with good enough grades to go to law school, started studying for LSATs while working at a law firm to get a taste of what it's all about. It didnt' take me very long to rule out law school, I didn't want the educational expense and certainly don't want the stress of being a BigLaw lawyer (which is what I would have sought to do). The only thing nice about it that I've seen is the money but at what cost?[/quote]
