[quote=Anonymous] [quote]In the DMV bubble I know, many of my friends are lawyers who hate being lawyers so they don't steer their kids into it. They went into it because that's what high achieving kids did back then, and/or it pleased their parents and/or it seemed lucrative/interesting.[/quote] I tell my kids that people who became lawyers in the 90s didn't know what else to do and were like, I’m a good writer and I like to argue, why not? But then you start practicing and figure out most of it is dry and meaningless, and that many of your colleague and opposing counsel are sociopaths who got into law because they enjoy manipulating people, and it just sucks. I managed to find a little niche that has been interesting and mostly meaningful, but I am not sure I would make the same choices in today’s environment.[/quote]
