"For it is in the years of early youth, when our judgment is most immature, that each of us decides that his calling in life shall be that to which he has taken a special liking. And thus he becomes engaged in some particular calling and career in life, before he is fit to decide intelligently what is best for him."

Sources: http://imgur.com/mEsY5gq http://imgur.com/YAR2fuN

BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION

"If [he should discover that he has made a mistake in choosing his life work] (and it can easily happen), he must change his vocation and mode of life. If circumstances favour such change, it will be effected with greater ease and convenience. If not, it must be made gradually, step by step, just as, when friendships become no longer pleasing or desirable, it is more proper (so wise men think) to undo the bond little by little than to sever it at a stroke. And when we have once changed our calling in life, we must take all possible care to make it clear that we have done so with good reason."

My guess is that this is taken from the second book of his Offices. It sounds familiar, although I have seen enough unbelievably divergent translations of the very same passage of his to counsel reservations concerning my guess.

No.

I think he realizes that other people may question your career change, which is why you have to make it clear that you based your decision on a sound reason, e.g., "biglaw hours were decimating my mental & physical health; it was not worth staying there."

If you don't, people will think your "weak" cause you couldn't hack it in the law.

CR. Bros in Cicero's time put enormous influence on society's perception of you. And he's mostly talking to wealthy aristocrats, so $$$ is not an object. Thus, the main concern is that other aristocrats will think you are fickle or a weirdo for suddenly changing your whole life around.

To be fair, this kind of makes Cicero irrelevant to most of us here, where $$ is the main concern with changing occupation, not perception.

I don't see how that is inconsistent with Cicero. An xo poaster can switch to a career that may end up paying more than his current gig as a biglawyer. I've also read that xo poasters have chosen the law mostly because of the prestige and honor accorded by society.

It's very unlikely someone who dislikes law would have a desire to retrain to enter one of the few other professions with a high probability of paying more.
