I'm sure that Jeff will agree with me. In the legal profession you have a bunch of Alpha males that are at each others throats. The last thing you think about is the law school somebody went to, that is yesterday's news. It is about survival and developing a reputation. I'm sure that Jeff would pretty much agree. It certainly isn't for everybody. In many cases it's not even the profession for people that graduated from law school.

Only 25% of my law school class is still practicing law. Almost all of them passed the bar. Very few of them changed their profession because they couldn't make it financially. The majority changed their profession because they found a profession or business that they enjoyed more.

And why not, if you can work in a more enjoyable business and make money at the same time, go for it.
