[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i would never.....law is the most soul robbing "profession" around.  Don't give rats a$$ what it pays.  95% of the lawyers I know hate their jobs...and this includes a few earning over $1m.[/quote]

Lawyers who are required to clock in way too many billable doing mind numbing boring work hardly moving from your desk for 14 hours, they hate their jobs.  The only thing that keeps them going is to brag about how much money they earn.

Many lawyers outside the greedy corporate world love their jobs.  Lawyers like elder law attorneys who help the elderly with their needs, anywhere from finding a nursing home, planning financially to qualify for benefits, meeting with families who can’t agree on what to do to helping with a guardianship.

Lawyers can be in the helping professions with normal hours, a smaller paycheck and a healthier home life.

I am in a corporation doing “corporate” law and love my job.  I get to be involved in our charity and philanthropic work, I am engaged with our board and senior management on serious business and policy issues (providing counsel) AND I get to farm out the drudge work and the I dotting and T crossing to the firms that work for us.  I would never, ever, ever recommend law firm work to anyone.  [/quote]
