Why pursue a legal career? Forum

[softmer]

Since there is so much negativity being spread about the job prospects for future lawyers, I'm wondering why you guys are still pursuing a legal career through law school?

In other words, what makes you want to become an attorney?

False. Bloody stool is common among biglawyers. It develops shortly after the teeth grinding and eye twitch.

I should have been less ambiguous - tend to have less external bleeding. Which means you might be dead on the inside, but you still look damn good on the outside, and that's what's really important.
