Welcome, Crystal!
I’m getting ready to start law school, and I’m not at all sure I should go. I think I’d be good at law, but I’m not sure it’s my passion. Is this a terrible idea? What should I be thinking about as I make this decision?
I’m a young-ish lawyer and I really hate my job. I liked law school okay, and did pretty well, but I hate going to work every day. Help! What are the three most important things I can do now, to figure out what to do with my career?
Hone the legal skills you most enjoy. If you get really good at a few things that you enjoy doing, you’re going to have greater leverage when you try to transition.
Could you talk a bit about what you do in the average day at work and how it’s similar to (or different from) what you thought you’d be doing when you started law school?
Thanks, Crystal!
