This.

I am 28 and I'm getting out now. Eating my losses. The misery in this profession is unparalleled.

I've cancelled so many dates with women I was very interested in. Still single, no prospects in sight. I'm handsome enough and well off, but it doesn't matter. Nobody wants to be thrust on the back burner from the start.

I haven't seen my parents in months. Sleep 5 hours a night if that. Graying horribly. It's in my eyebrows now. I've read 10 books this year at best. Forget about writing. If you become a lawyer, forget about hobbies, creative pursuits, etc. The longing will kill you. I definitely have cancer.

Not to mention the work is boring. The subject matter may be fascinating, but what they don't tell you in law school is that subject matter is irrelevant. It's all busy work – pleadings, discovery, procedural paper pushing.

I should be billing right now. I've lost time on this post. I wouldn't be leaving this comment if i wasn't so despondent.
