You'd killself as a pharmacist. Talk about drudgery. No exit options. No money. Nada. Just enough of a paycheck to pay off loans and mortgage, forever chained to a Walgreen's counter as old ladies sneeze on you and you ring-up clipped coupons and rewards cards.

Realistically, I probably would have picked a career that was at least tangentially related to something I enjoy even if it meant not making as much money. Although in that alternative universe, I'd probably be pissed I didn't make more money.

They're delusional.

In larger cities, after a few years firefighters can make low six figures with pensions and amazing benefits. They can retire in their 40s. And on the way there, they love their jobs and spend all day helping people when they're not clowning around their permanent fraternity house.

Even other "office jobs" are better than law. A friend is an internal recruiter for a company and told me that they just hired a social media marketing manager for $120,000. This is a 9-5, low stress gig without weekend or night emails.

It's absurd that people think all jobs involve painstakingly reading dense, boring documents for 10 hours per day and getting chewed out for missing one issue in those documents.

Can you imagine? Scheduling out tweets, adjusting budgets on sponsored facebook posts, snapchatting company products, leaving at 5:00 PM. Meanwhile, some balding, stressed out dork insurance defense lawyer is making $30k less than you and getting reamed out at 9:00 PM at night for forgetting to ask a question during a 4 hour deposition earlier that day.

I took debt to go T10 -> biglaw -> solo anyway. Should have gone T50 on a full ride (had one of these offers in hand) -> midlaw -> solo.

Or just gone college -> real estate agent. Sitting behind a desk all day doing paperwork is 120. My favorite part of being solo is the sales aspect, not actually doing the lawyering shit.

Even a low-six-figure income is shit if you have to save for a modest retirement, particularly when many firms don't offer a 401k.

Transactional work isn't good if you have existential angst but it's much better if you pick the right practice area.

Do something like real estate or project finance, where you have real, tangible things you're creating. Not just pieces of paper. Something you can point to when your kids ask you what you do
