That's generally how I feel about my future with law. My grandpa died when I was young, but one of the few things I remember him saying all the time was "if you spend your life chasing a dollar, you'll always be behind it."

LA has a big problem with brain drain, and it sucks to me that so many people who are in a position to do something about the problems this state has (i.e. environmental) leave to go work elsewhere. It's tough with the constant negativity surrounding law school and the profession in general. If I had a dollar for every time I heard I wasn't going to get a job, I was going to work 100 hour weeks (wut?), I was going to hate my life, etc., then I would have enough in the bank to live on until I was 80.

I've worked in enough fields to know that EVERY job has its drawbacks...even being a fishing guide. But, my brain works this way and I'm pretty passionate about Louisiana, so hopefully it'll work out. Funny thing about law school finals time is all these thoughts about whether you chose the right path pop up, and conversations like this spring from them haha.
