Friendly reminder (for everyone) from someone in the field that the vast majority of people who study law do not end up making millions of dollars a year at top firms. If you’re just going into law to make money, there are much less expensive ways to do so.
Yeap, and the ones who do make millions usually have to work 24/7 in an extremely high stress environment. Burnout at those firms are pretty extreme, most just do it for a couple years to pay off loans and to pad their CVs.
I do have a buddy who is making a killing working a pretty low stress position for a top firm, but he took a really odd career course. Hes got a PhD in organic chem and then got his JD from Berkeley.
TBF compare that to being a rockstar these days is basically becoming an indentured servant to Ticketmaster or beholden to the pity and grace of an independent record label.

I can confirm this, all I got was severe burn out and depression!
They didn’t even send you the T-shirt? That’s supposed to come standard once you hit burnout.
