Top Law Schools

I go to lower T14 and I have great grades (top 5%). I summered at a large DA's office last year. I hate law school. I'm really good at it, but I hate is so, so, so, so much. I hate law students, I hate the classes. I hate everything about it.

That being said, things I realized this year: I hate writing. I hate it. The idea of doing legal writing for 40+ hours a week makes me want to suicide. Not even kidding.

So, where I'm at is this: I would do prosecution, in part because prosecution involves little to no writing (writing one paragraph complaints is fine - I'm talking about 40+ page legal briefs). I'm okay speaking to groups of people (it's not my favorite, but I'm okay at it). Job security matters a LOT to me, and I don't care if I am not making bank as long as I'm able to pay my bills. I will graduate with around ~75k in debt.

I have hated law school so much that I haven't applied for ANY jobs except for the place I worked at this summer. I'm a 3L. What the fuck do I do from here? I 75% want to say fuck it and just go back to the industry I was in before law school (they have a ton of JD preferred jobs and I would make ~75-80k per year and could live anywhere in the USA).

I seriously thought I'd love law school before this, but honestly, the only reason I'm staying is because I think I'll disappoint my family if I drop out.

Just looking for thoughts here.

+1. Do that for sure.

You did really well. Why didn't you do OCI, and go for something other than litigation?

This thread is probably going to out you, not it seems like you care about that very much.

Honestly, I didn't do OCI because I didn't think I'd get anything and I just didn't want to deal with it. I'm dealing with some depression here if the OP doesn't make that obvious.
