Default Thinking about law school?

seek psychiatric help immediately.


Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to vent:

I work full time and attend law school at night. At any given time, it's a hellish schedule. On nights like this evening/morning, with a deadline looming, it's worse than hell. I've been up for nearly 24 hours straight, and I won't be off to bed for at least 18 more hours. I still have a paper to finish, a full day of work and a full evening of class before I can begin to think about sleep. This isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last. All of this, in the hope that one day I will become a good lawyer joke.

Ahhh... Much better. Back to work.

That's rough man, I can't imagine... My friends in law school say it's like a full time job, and studying takes up almost all their free time too. Having to work a full job at the same time has to be insanely hard.

What year are you in?

I don't know how you do it...seriously i detest school. I've worked two full time jobs before so I can kind of feel your pain. However I didn't have to write an intellectual paper after having no sleep! UGH..

Beta, its impressive you go to school and work. I think its awsome! You have so much drive. I could never do that!

I thought about law school, even took the LSATs, but decided I don't like offices or suits so I applied to graduate school where I can hang out in the woods all day

That's a hellish schedule Beta, you deserve serious props for staying focused!!

I will tell you though, that the pain you are experiencing now may serve to acclimate you to the real world, at least if you go into Corporate law. Some of my acquaintances who work as corporate lawyers work absolutely hellish hours (but make big money as well). Good luck!!
