Why in the world would one want to be a lawyer?

<p>Ha! You beat me to it.</p>

<p>I did patent prosecution and patent litigation. Not interesting enough and too stressful (billing hours) for me to do, so I went to non-billable world. My undergraduate degree was chemical engineering.</p>

<p>Very cool, JonLaw. I will graduate with a Chem-E degree in 2015. In what part of the non-billable world do you now reside? I’ve often been a little mystified at the path that leads one to become a litigator. I fancy I will do some litigating in my time and like it for its financial rewards.</p>

<p>The exciting world of contingency fee disability law. </p>

<p>I feel like a social worker.</p>

<p>Which is better than the feeling of billing hours.</p>
