[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Lawyers are one of the professions that have a front-row seat to how self-destructing and immoral people can be in certain scenarios; this is true in civil and criminal, across the income/"sophistication" scale, and is seen in clients, colleagues, opposing counsel, and others. Over a career, this can be soul crushing. 2. The largest cohort of attorneys are litigators, which involves a seemingly endless series of conflicts over issues that are substantively small and big but which are all dealt with as if a matter of life-or death. The stress that this causes can be life crushing. 3. Most attorneys have minimal say in the direction of their career. Your firm gives you a steady diet of work in field A because you accepted an assignment on Friday afteroon three years ago; next thing you know, its nearly all you do even if it does nothing for you. [/quote] That said, I'm a very happy attorney, both previosly in Big Law and currently.[/quote]
