I truly believe you have to have a calling to be an attorney. Not only is law school tough but the first 2 - 3 years of lawyering are a nightmare. Figure having no life and working 60 - 80 hours minimum a week. Many attorneys (me included) opt to do something else. I actually work for an insurance company not as an attorney but as an adjuster handling intellectual property claims. I make almost as much money but work way less hours.

There is all types of law - everything from corporate, real estate, tort, family law to environental, public health etc. Do you have a passion for something that law would help you do? If not, find something else to do.

BYW, I've never thought lawyering was boring. Cases can be and are very interesting but work can be very tedious!
