I am in the same boat as some of you. Number of reasons for me,
1. I really felt terrified by the recent tech downturn. One has to aim for something better than salaried job. Not necessarily law, but any professional job with a frigging license that ensures no deflation of your value with increasing age and inflow of young guns/mimi. They cant outsource law/medicare/plumbing jobs.
2. Those have been working for a long while like us know there is really no bright future in corporate world. Politics, and aholes everywhere. Just feel stupid. I will go for whatever makes me feel independent.
3. Did I say as a lawyer you can suit the pants off the snob/arrogant mofo that you dont like. Nobody messes with you. Thats power. Try top that, as a science geek.
4. We will be fine. There is no such thing somebody is made for law profession. No worries there. That's why we go to law school for 3 years and pay tons of money to get trainned.
My first baby is on the way, hell knows how am I going to pull through. But if there is a will, there is a way!
First, "They cant outsource law/medicare/plumbing jobs." -- FYI, a lot of law(specially IP)/medicare job(specially form process) have been outsource already. We never know how powerful IT can be.
Second, "Politics, and aholes everywhere" -- a lot of from law school and law firm
Third, "Nobody messes with you." -- you are facing the most evil people every day.
如果你喜欢LAW, 就去chase the dream. I just try to point out that your reasons don't sound to me...

Fair statement.
You mean they've outsourced trial lawer job, nursing care, doctor diagonsis to India. That's news to me. Like Senifield said "God I gotta get on that internet thing." My words is just get licensed, anything.
Practicing law give one an opptunity to be independent as opposed to in the coroprate world. Heck there are even politics in my house, if you want to nitpick what I say.
If you think I am biased, I don't see any hope that I can convince you by all means.
I didn't mean outsource 'trial lawer', but law jobs are much more than 'trial'. If you google 'outsource law', there are tons of examples. So do medicare(I didn't mean for nursing jobs...), but doctor diagonsis is outsourcing. Doc in india are beginning to read X-ray from USA.
The evil people include much more than Bin and Sadam if you agree with that. Many politics pick law school as the first step.

My wife is the medical field, so I know what I am talking about and you are talking about. Low level, non-licensed work is outsourced like reading lab results and back office job, but I am talking about licensed job like a attorney charing fee talking to client. These things are controled and regulated very strictly in US, I dont see foreign lawyers can come over and take over. To be a law prefessional is difficult, but that's the point. Tech is deflated, any mimi can transfer to be a tech.
Of course, being a lawyer means you make money by dealing with other's problems/shiat, maybe not so much in the patent law as the first poster says where he want to be. But anyways if one doesnt have stomach to do that, yeah he better thinks twice.
