[QUOTE="pogre, post: 1905255, member: 6588"] Just to echo everyone else's thoughts here: I practiced for 6 years and just decided law was not fun enough for me. Law school is a great education, but being a lawyer was much less fun. I dropped my [i]golden handcuffs[/i] (I love that term) and went back and got a teaching degree. Now, I teach high school and coach football and track. I make at least 50% less money, but I really look forward to going to work every day. AND - summers off! My god man, how can you beat Summers off! BTW - and I know everyone knows this - you cannot get out from under school loans by declaring bankruptcy. School loans were the reason I practiced law as long as I did. Double payments allowed me to get out ;) [/QUOTE]
