lol, please name some examples of corporate jobs you think would be better.
99% of corporate jobs are uninteresting and meaningless. i know people who work at "cool" places like tesla and their jobs are just as boring as the lawyer's jobs. my husband designs satellites and his job sounds cool to other people b/c it's classified but he literally just codes all day and has to deal w/ stupid office politics.
you have typical "grass is greener" mentality. no, there is not a better job for you out there that you'd be happier with, and if that job existed, you wouldn't be able to get it. be happy that you make a lot of money and that you have good hours so that at least you family life isn't ruined by billing hours. cuz at the end of the day when you're on your deathbed, you're not going to be thinking, "oh gee, i wish i took that product manager position at the F100 company instead of be a lawyer." all you'll care about is hugging your puppydood/spouse/children one more time. see your job as just a means to have a meaningful life outside work. change your perspective.

lol at the LMC fantasizing ITT. Yeah being not poor is good, OK so you're not on welfare, but still one really bad break from being out of $, and the feeling of being surrounded by proles and the general lack of direction or passion of anything they feel
here's the problem with you guys: you SAY you want some simpler LMC lifestyle but deep down you're too much of a greedy capitalist whore to give up the $, the handcuffs have got you for life
You could take your god given IQ and nestegg right now and go do public interest work or something that would give you meaning and still the slight prestige of being a white collar worker, but you wont, because you cant
so stop pretending the alternative, being LMC, is great and stop pretending you could have ever changed yourself, you are a slave to money and frankly until you FORCE yourself to break those chains (usually inertia is too strong so maybe when you're fired) you'll always be unhappy
but jfc stop romanticizing 45K a year, especially in an American that increasingly shits on the "have nots" which includes, sadly, the LMC

i left advertising to go to a T6 law school back when ppl were still going to law school (mid noughts
i think of it as the worst decision of my life. but at the same time, when I was in advertising, I hated being surrounded by idiots from ttt's like syracuse (mostly women and faggots). So I figured hey... go get a preftigious degree. I now hate my life. Would I have hated it more if I had stayed in advertising? I don't know. I wish I had gone to college when the internet and internet job searching were more robust (2007 and beyond). I think it would have expanded my knowledge of potential careers and the value of an MBA dramatically.

I grew up poor, have a JD but don't practice.
I'm pretty fucking happy about it, but I'll echo the dude above who said he wished he'd gone to college with more robust Internet and job search ability. I'd have definitely gone for an MBA, something broadly useful, and taken opportunities as they came.
But, six or so years after taking the LSAT, I'm happy enough with how things have worked out. I don't have a cool, fun job, but I'm skilled enough that I can do shit that few other people are good at or have the required knowledge. I make good money and will only make more, and it happens to be in an industry that has relaxed deadlines and schedules. It's pretty fucking credited, honestly, and I imagine a lot of corporate careers are similar (I've worked in a few other corporate industries than where I worked now, and it would have been easy to move into a chill, decent paying career with some time and effort.)
You go in, get yourself some useful skills, and pretty soon you're in a position where one wrong move isn't enough to crush you, and life is pretty good.

i think i figured out this sentiment and it is very very simple.
forget all those people above that say, just put your head down because you just need free time outside of work. or people who say you would never give up your high paying lawyer job so stfu.
that's true. but that's not the issue.
the real issue is that we just want to be the boss. that's it. the boss. or at least have real autonomy or power or a little fiefdom. until you have that, you are someone's bitch. and a corporate lawyer is the ultimate bitch because you have the worst boss in the world--your clients.

Funny that someone bumped this. I forgot I wrote this.
As an update, I made partner since then at my firm. It actually has made my angst a little better. I'm a lawyer still, which sucks, but I'm also a small business owner, which is more interesting...I've now thrown myself into making us a better business (better brand, bigger, more practice groups, etc), which is kind of fun.

Eh. It's really not that bad. Plenty of worse jobs that pay less.
