I live comfortably, take vacations, love my staff, like my clients. I'm not an OT baller, I only drive an F-150, but I don't hate myself. I work at a small firm and while I work steadily 50-60 hours a week I have a lot of freedom to control my own schedule.

Are y'all as miserable as the stories, or are there other happy lawyers like me?

I chase ambulances.

Edit: Yes, they are water-borne ambulances.

I drive a non-lifted 2WD F-150, that's like an admission of poverty on the OT.

The other thread was depressing. Count me as someone who doesn't loathe what they do. Maybe I've just come to terms with it. I don't absolutely love it, and it has its moments of boredom and I occasionally suffer from some minor moments of ennui, but it allows me to give my family a pretty good lifestyle.

I doubt it...everything is trying to eat them. Seals only have to worry about great whites and killer whales

I am happy with my commercial/transactional practice as a partner in a small firm. Things could be a lot worse.
