Default Re: so i\'ll have a law degree soon...

[ QUOTE ]
If you don't like law, drop out now. If you don't like law school, you won't like practicing law. Practicing law is one of the most boring and tedious occupations on the face of the earth.

Take this advice from someone who has a law degree and hated practicing: Do something you love with your life, especially if you are young and don't have many responsibilities.

If later in life you realize that law might be your thing, you can always go back to law school.

thank you for the candid insight. however, as i said before i do enjoy law school and the law in an academic sense. i also like the idea of the power a law degree will give me (not some macho societal thing but rather the idea that i will have a leg up on people i negotiate/contract with in any pursuit i am engaged in).

that said, if i value a law degree in those senses, do you still recommend dropping out?
