re: Update on an Issue You All Helped With

I dropped out of a top ten law school and was temping the past year and a half before moving to a new city. It hurts to think about the could haves, but I know I couldn't have handled the stress and pressure. I literally would have been killed by panic attacks at some point.

Good for you...if I had a dollar for every attorney I met who shouldn't be a lawyer, I could retire early. So many ppl pursue law because of salary/prestige/not knowing what the hell else to do w/their postgraduate lives, and they end up as miserable drunks (or worse). It's a profession/career path that seems to attract smart, highly verbal people who are successful at school...but not necessarily cut out to handle the actual practice of law.
