People taking exception to the first sentence about not enjoying reading are missing the point I think. This article describes really well the way that, for me and a high percentage of my fellow law students, law school sucks the joy out of all the other parts of your life.
For me it was some combination of the subject matter's tediousness, endlessness and the pressure to perform, along with the idea that what you're working toward is a 40 year career doing that same thing. Not necessarily a correct or rational view but one that easily takes over in law school.
- gnicholas 8y agoI'd be curious to know when you went to law school and what you did afterward. Are you still in law? Many practicing lawyers I know love what they do and find it very interesting.
