[quote=Anonymous]+1 to finding a niche practice area if you do enter law. I'm in RE biglaw, have 2 kids + a working spouse, and I'm very thankful for my job. A family friendly office helps too.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90% of lawyers hate their job.

You are romanticizing what you think the jobs really are.

Talk to someone/multiple people who do it and really understand what it entails.[/quote]

Meh, only lawyers who weren’t cut out to be lawyers, or who insisted on chasing money/prestige. with the exception of a few dull years in the wrong agency, I have always enjoyed my job.

So, you are in the 10%.

I know probably 10 BigLaw partners and not one is encouraging their kid to follow in their footsteps.[/quote]

My dad (former biglaw partner) also discouraged us from being lawyers. In my experience any well paying field is going to be grueling and law is not a bad option for the intellectual, introverted who aren’t cut out to be doctors or in finance - as far as the high paying fields go.

Some people in biglaw I know who like their jobs are in tax and real estate.
