miserable life in BigLaw. I am scared.

Below is someone bitch about the life in BigLaw. What do you think? I am scared: I can work long hours, but I can not stand pressure, and can not stand friendlessness.

I've been at the same firm for over two years now. It's okay, but I can't imagine billing hours for the rest of my life. I'm getting older and am still single. Can't imagine meeting anyone since I'm not in school anymore. It's too expensive to live in the city I'm in so I'll never live rich even though I'm a lawyer. I've travelled a lot so now it's boring. I'm tired of my friends. Most people are lame and flaks. It's hard to make friends once you're out of school. My family sucks big time. I barely talk to them. I don't even know where my "father" is. I'm giving myself the rest of these year then I may just give up. Quit big law. Take the 200k I have in the bank and move abroad to a third world country and try to open some businesses

He sounds like a typical loser. There are losers in every walk of life, and you choose to which one to listen to.
