I am a lawyer and very happy in both my professional and personal life. I graduated from law school ~25 years ago. The first 10 years were absolutely grueling, the next 2-3 were a grind, the next ~5 were fine and the last 7-8 years have been FANTASTIC and make everything that came before it worth it.

I make great money, do interesting work on a reasonable schedule for clients and with colleagues that I enjoy, and my work-life balance now tips in favor of life. I delayed starting a family until I was 35, but I have never missed a single school/sports event. They'll have to roll me out of this place feet first, or kick me out. (Insert Wolf of Wall Street meme here: "I'm not f'ing leaving!")

The key was buckling down for the long haul to reach and enjoy the fruits during these golden years. Too many people end up taking an off-ramp and miss this stage. Good luck.

Thanks for the responses, y’all. Makes me feel a little bit better about my decision.

Are you going to be working in Dallas? Did you just take the bar exam this week?
