Also, for many being a lawyer was not their first pick for a career. Many probably had dreams about this or that that they gave up on and are still bitter about it. |

Date: March 2nd, 2017 4:32 PM Author: Milky well-lubricated site azn Law manages to be both boring and incredibly stressful at the same time.
The work is rote and mind numbing. Drafting and reading very dense, very boring documents.
You need to pay attention to detail ALL THE TIME. That detail appears in the world's most boring documents. If you missed one point in one of the 50 cases you researched, you get shit on. If you didn't change one clause in a 60 page contract, you get shit on.
You have to argue all the time. Everyone you encounter is trying to outmaneuver you or prove something.
You spend all day dealing with other people's problems. All you do is make other people's problems your problems. This is not just true in litigation.

If you manage not to fuck up, or even do something well, you get a minor head nod best case. Worst case you get asked why the rest of your work isn't this good.
