You sound dumb.
1. You don't know anything about practicing law. You think you can make a judgment on the legal career from your 1L experience????
2. I have a feeling you are gonna go thru OCI regardless of what you said here. If you end up getting a job, I am sure you will accept it while whining like a lil tool.

Law school is nothing like practicing law.
I fucking hated law school, especially the boring bullshit of 1L. It's like memorizing a cookbook but never cooking anything.
Being a lawyer is nothing like that shit. I'd advise you to tough it out, unless you have good job options.

i knew i didn't want to be a lawyer sometime during first semester 1L. i should have dropped out. sticking it out, getting biglaw was a giant mistake and waste of time. now i'm 32 trying to figure out how to get back to a career that isn't law but i'm stuck.
if you're certain, i would quit now and don't look back.

I knew a dude that matches you exactly. His stats, school type, credentials , etc.
He ended up killing himself last September.

Do you like working 70-80 hour weeks? Or stressing over typos in emails? Or being on call all the time? Or being called at 8pm multiple nights a week for projects due the next day? Working with gunner douchebags who like out shining their peers in their class year? If so, then biglaw is your calling.
The money is good, but keep in mind you will be in a boatload of debt and you won't see most of it.

I am confused from the OP whether it's 50K of debt just from 1L year or that's what will accrue by graduation. CR is probably dropping out either way, but especially if OP is clocking 50K in debt each for 2L and 3L. There would be two good reasons not to drop out:
1) You will be a natural as a biglaw junior/mid-level. If you are naturally an anal perfectionist who can hyperfocus on relatively dumb work shit easily, you're a decent writer, and you have the soft skills to position yourself politically in a firm, the work will get better quickly and you will get to enjoy being good at biglaw on some level and be gratified by your success in a job that makes failures out of thousands and thousands of smart people every year. It will still suck, but it will give you a certain amount of exposure to what real work in the real world is, and you can take that and do something better. Worst case scenario you go in house as fast as possible from biglaw, and then at least you have a reasonable workload/schedule, and if you work at a decent company it might end up being interesting.
2) You are willing to hustle during 2L and 3L and find other things to do with your time that would give you a shorter route to a nonshit career path (which could be law-related, or completely non-legal). E.g. say you decide what you'd really want to do is work at start ups in SV that are making on disruptive mobile technologies. You spend the next two years basically doing as little as possible as a law student (which you would anyway as a 2L/3L at CCN who's above the median, but not in contention for LR) and you instead go find people who are doing that work and you figure out how to work for them (probably for free). If there's more than one thing you're interested in (mobile start ups, or being an agent for pro athletes, or starting a small business), you do more than one thing and quit if you genuinely made and effort to be useful and asked for training, and ended up just making copies and coffee. Instead of just being drunk and stoned and wasting all your time whining about how you ruined your 20s and maybe your life by going to law school (like the rest of us will/did) you start hustling and find something better. It's obviously much easier said than done, and I can tell you that I wasn't mature enough to do it for myself at the time when I (along with all of my friends) reached the same conclusion about a week before second semester 1L finals. But that was really dumb of me. I was sitting on a very marketable credential, I lived in a world class city full of cool shit that I could've gotten excited about instead, and I had a very deep pool of networking contacts all around me between classmates, SOs of classmates, profs, alumni who are active and actually give a shit, and all the tangentially connected people like e.g. a judge in town who helped out a lot with one of the clinics I was in. It's possible that a person trying to pursue this approach to 2L and 3L would realize that they can reach their goal more quickly if they just drop out, and if you reach that point, then do it. But that's a position of much greater strength than "I finished 1L year and law school sucks and everyone says biglaw is awful, so fuck this I'm out." The latter scenario might be good analysis, but the former gets you on track to something better more quickly IMO.
And FYI, this hustle to get a good job and then kick ass once you get it advice will apply whether or not you finish law school. But debt and wasted time are certainly important factors to consider.

I would probably drop out and just chalk this up to a life experience. Go work for 2 years and cop an MBA which actually accelerates your marketing career.
1L from CCN with the maturity to say "it's not for me" is a positive, growth experience, especially because you're not going to be in a lot of debt. If it's what, 18K of debt to learn a major life lesson? Oh well. Not a big deal.

That's a very small amoutn of debt.
Maybe try the JD/MBA? Standards are very low if you're already at the law school.
