Drew, you seem very bitter at life. Sorry you made a decision that did not work out for you.
Did you ever consider working for the goverment?

I'm a little bitter about choosing to go to law school in the first place, because I think I've experienced some of the 'golden handcuffs' problem.
And I feel a little bitter about the disparity between law school (interesting, energizing) and law practice (mind-numbing, soul-sucking, etc.)
But you do get paid well for practicing law... and I could probably support my family decently as a part-time lawyer. This is, in fact, what I hope to do after the new year (after my son is born).
But mainly, I think kids who are considering law school should be absolutely sure this is what they want, and I want them to have the benefit of knowledge from someone who's been there and learned the hard way that practicing law, for most people, is not a great way to make a living.
