Have you considered a college professor? That might suit you very well.
I don’t want to discourage you, but it’s a hard job. I’ve worked for large and small firms. I prefer larger firms for the benefits, but I’m non-legal staff. Associates right out of school work their asses off. Late nights, weekends. We did a closing last year. Those guys slept in the offices. Worked through the holiday from Tgiving through New Years. They get a good salary but have no life.
Definitely NOT college professor. I know people trying to get jobs in that field, and it absolutely sucks.
And I’ll be honest, I’ve started at a new school every year or two for the last seven years, and I’ve worked evenings, weekends, constantly. And I’ve been paid shit, and I spend my days telling little boys to sit down and taking cell phones away, and doing endless paperwork, and it’s never, never good enough.
Ridiculous workload is a way of life for me. So that’s not worrisome. Some other parts of it are.
