Re: got one! RunninFromTheLaw October 12, 2008 05:03 pm
Uncle Eddy my apologies. No hard feelings & I retract that last post. I have no desire to get into some stupid exchange of barbs on this forum. It is one of the things I don't like about lawyers-- making comments from the sidelines of life, full of wit and irony, always the observer, the commentator, the editor, the critic. I'm just trying to get out of law, BIGLAW specifically, because it is crushing my soul.

The specifics of my situation don't really matter. Only posted here because I figured there might be someone out there who has been in my shoes & has tried to get out-- and maybe made it and maybe failed. But someone who gave it a shot. Those are the folks I was hoping to have an exchange/feedback with.

Being the critic is easy for lawyers-- sort of a chicken and egg question as to whether practicing law does that to you or it attracts people who are already like that-- always looking for reasons why you can't or shouldn't do something or why something is not a good idea. And that's exactly what I'm trying to get away from.
