>>8100390>>8100390>>8100390Many of us have been here, regardless of the area of study. I'm halfway through law school, but consciously chose to go into at 28y.o. to readjust my career. Law can be very fulfilling. Look into public interest litigation firms; non-profit firms. This is "cause lawyering"/"impact litigation" and is really more about taking selective cases in a larger effort to change the law through the courts, rather than through legislation. It is filled with purpose and many find it very meaningful. And if you really don't like the idea of being a litigator in a courtroom, many of these firms have policy teams which work on legislation. Beyond law firms—there are many policy non-profits which handle legislative reform in the states and federal government. Pay is good depending which firm/org you are at. You won't be making $250k+ like at big law, but 6 figures is very realistic by your 30's.
If you hate law and can't stand the thought of 9-6pm at a firm for the next 45yrs+, get out now and stop accumulating the dept. But don't quit because you feel confused or because you don't love law school. Do it because you have actually found something else more meaningful which strikes you as worthy of pursing. Your state of confusion and doubt about the future is totally normal. Dwelling on it and thinking about yourself is not only unhelpful but psychologically hurts. Stop thinking about yourself and how you feel That hurts your chances. Start thinking about you future and what you actually could do. You'll be amazing athwart you can discover and unlock in yourself if you seriously start asking yourself the right questions. Good luck.
