 *So I found this article "When the Emptiness Swallows You" on abovethelaw.com today. It was written by a former big firm lawyer who went to NYU law school and now is a psychotherapist. I think it's relevant to what we've been talking about in class. Just wanted to post for people's reading pleasure/displeasure.

I've cut and pasted the text of the article here because I don't know if it will remain the top part of the blog's homepage so this just makes it easier for access. I bolded quotes I found interesting.

Line: 122 to 122
 So, why do people work at a job they hate, making money they don't need, and let it eat at them till they seek solace in the distance between the edge of an overpass and a dry creek bed? Ya got me.

I don't know anyone who grew up saying they wanted to be an M&A lawyer. Big law firms are far from my point of self actualization, but other factors (family, community expectations, financial obligations) can help bridge the gap between where I want to be and where I am.
