Thank you so much for making this video. I'm a former attorney who left the law for the exact same reason. This honestly helped reaffirm that I made the right choice. I'm actually working on starting my own business!
Subscribed. Cause I truly relate with what you said. I ONLY Have a belief to reach the stage where you currently are. Your efforts in your videos will guide people like me who are willing to stick to this approach. Keep making such videos.❤
I started out as a lousy stevedore. I didn't think I could write technical books and do technical illustration until I tried them. I could never become a lawyer though. There are way too many laws I don't agree with and too many things I think should be totally legal.
Thank you for your insight! What a story! I was recently told that it is nearly impossible to transition from transactional law to litigation. Yet, here I am hearing about you making that pivot! Did you find that move difficult or am I getting smoke blown up my ass 🤣?
Listen, of course it can be difficult. But it's also difficult to stay in a practice area or career you hate. So you really just have to pick your hard. I don't think it's as hard as people say it is. It takes work and it won't just happen but it's definitely doable!
This is why I'm staying as a paralegal (in-house or small boutique firm) After 5pm its the next day's problem 😂 Heard enough horror stories from family members who are/were attorneys and friends who are attorneys.
Good for you! My advice would be to try to talk to as many actual practicing lawyers as you can before you take this step. Get an understanding of what their lives and jobs are like and if that's something you want for yourself.
