It seems a lot of people complain that law school and life as an attorney involves a lot stress, long hours, and depression. I got a decent LSAT score but I've lately been thinking I would rather be a paralegal because I can still work in law but I would also have time to do other stuff like play with my future kids, sit on the couch and drink beer, and read mystery novels, etc.
So, I'm wondering what the draw is for you current students. Besides high salaries, what about working as a lawyer attracts you to the career despite the negatives? A ton of people go to law school, so there must be some good things I haven't thought of yet.
