Every single lawyer I’ve networked with says they regret pursuing law. Feeling discouraged
I am now a 2L and starting to wonder if this is all even worth it. I know plenty of people who passed the bar and still can not find work. Even Students from T14s that are struggling.
Every lawyer I’ve talked to told me they wish they had gone into business, tech, etc. I have even talked to partners at high tier law firms that mentioned that they are trapped by their salary. No home life, never see their kids, but can’t quit because they can’t afford to trade In their current lifestyle.
Anyways, is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
