DON'T GO TO LAW SCHOOL JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO! Here's my little story... Graduated college and started working for a couple of law firms. It got to a point where I was doing most of the work in regards to writing briefs, motions, so forth, and the attorneys would just sign my work and submit the papers to court. I was like fuck that, I'm doing your job, maybe I should go to law school and get paid their salary. So off to law school I went. And let me tell you what a miserable time. Tons and tons of reading, schoolwork that would kick my ass, competitive class settings, the list goes on and on. You only get one grade for a class based on your final exam, so you can imagine how much stress goes while studying fo finals. Did a year 1/2 of law school before I came to the realization that I hated what I was studying and I didn't picture myself becoming an attorney. So I dropped out (leave of absence. officially) and went snowboarding for several months to chill out. THE best move I've made in my short life. So to all you people who are saying, "I'm unhappy where I'm at, I wanna do something else, I want to travel..." GO DO IT! Life is too short to be stuck in a rut. After snowboarding season was over, I came back to NYC and found a job in an investment bank on the bond trading desk. Now I enjoy going to work and love the fast paced action of the market. Oh yeah, I love the $$$. A total 360 from hating myself and my life while I was in law school. So, only go to law/grad school if you are sure that you want it. It's a big commitment, both mentally and financially (trust, my loans for law school were huge). And don't be nervous if you feel lost or are unsure of your career...only time and experience will lead you (hopefully) in the right direction. Of course, I could be wrong....it's just my opinion.
