Lavender you will never find an answer but I sugest you find this answer.
"Am I going to enjoy doing something in this line of work for the rest of my life?"
if no it's not too late to change. mabey a law clerk or something splintering off of a lawyer would more suit you

Hey look at it this way. If you go to law school then decide you dont want to use it. It still looks great on a Resume.
much better than. "took a few years to find myself"

Lavender. If you have already completed two years, you might as well finish the third if you want to enter the practice. If you do not plan to work in the legal field, then I'm curious why you would bother with law school.
If you want to discuss the ups and downs of working in law, feel free to PM me. Been there, done that.

Here we go again. Another Lavendar whine about "Law School". Is anyone else ready to regurgitate?

This is a conversation we should be having on my front porch, cigarettes in hand, cold beer sweating on the railing.
The gist of the conversation would be: "Don't quit just because you're almost done." followed by "If it isn't going to make you truly happy, it's not worth it." Then I'd just have to know which beaver you bought, and whether the crystal dildo was all it was cracked up to be.

If you've ever had to wake up and force yourself out of bed and ready to go to work, and then force yourself to do a good job rather than daydream about being someplace--anyplace--else, then you're in the wrong profession. If you have reason to believe that the lawyering will be the same as the clerking has been, and you still hate every minute of it, you're in the wrong profession.
The wrong career doesn't just take a toll on your attitude, it takes a toll on your physical health as well. Stress, blood pressure, depression, anger, frustration, all of that just makes for some bad times.
If you seriously think that being a business lawyer is not for you as opposed to a mid-life crisis, then the worst thing you could is to become a business lawyer. Sure, you'll have more school to be something else and there'll be problems to tackle to get to be something else, but if you're happier in the long run, that's more important than the big bucks you'll make as a business lawyer--assuming you don't waste the extra cash drowning your sorrows or get fired for having a totally sour disposition.
If you think you're having a mid-life crisis and just questioning yourself, then sticking out another semester in school in your current career path isn't going to hurt you.
Do some soul searching and look at all your options. Like you haven't been doing that already.

Ok, everything that KM just said, is what I was trying to say.
KM, wanna hang on the porch with us? We could even substitute my mom's front porch for mine, it's closer.

That'd be cool.
I have to log off for a bit, but perhaps we could have a nice front porch convo on Messenger later on. That'd be sort of as good. Without the sound of laughter and the ability to share snacks.

That's not true! You must just be hanging out with the wrong firm. Sure, there are boring lawyers. There are boring people in any profession. But I know business lawyers who can party with the best of them- they'd give Dillinger a run for his money.
Maybe you haven't found the right firm to fit your personality yet.
