<p>im new to this board and just saw this post. This is a great article. If you really want to know if you’d like the law, i suggest working in a big firm as a paralegal for a year or two. I did and i learned so much and decided not to go to law school. It was so hard to put my ego aside and come to the realization that ls was not all it was cracked up to be. All the young attorneys i talked to at best, didn’t really like practicing law and at worst, thought it was the single worst mistake of their lives. Many had 150k+ of debt and told me that they were going ot leave the firm after they paid off their loans. Some were predicting leaving the profession all together. Keep in mind these are associates making 135k+ their first year. </p>
<p>The legal profession certainly isnt the ticket to upper middle/upper class life at all anymore. There are easier and more fulfilling ways to make a living. Here is a good article for those who really want to know what the state of the legal profession is.</p>
