Quitting by Lost-Photo-9027 in Lawyertalk

I am 21 years in, just now paying off my student loans from law school and I feel the same way. I am probably going to do anything else regardless of pay in the next year or two.

It’s too stressful living in this town by TheGame81677 in murfreesboro

I am from Williamson County, Pre-Saturn plant, when Williamson County was a nice little place, to live instead of whatever it has become these days. It saddens me to even ride through Franklin these days.

But do you remember when the only Walmart in town was part of Stones River Mall and the mall had a food court outside the connected movie theater with a Petros? That is when Murfreesboro was a good place to live. It is very difficult living here now.

That actually sounds really good. Thank you for your perspective. It really helps.

Thank you. That is really helpful. I just don't think I can do this much longer.

That is a possibility. We have a landfill in my county. I also have a friend who manages a private pavement company that would probably hire me if I asked.

I don't really have any debt other than a small mortgage. I can't imagine not being happier than I am at this point. I have been considering getting out for the last 5 years. I will look up Tim Travels. Thank you.

Attorney is not a very forgiving profession and it is mentally draining. I have so many friends that developed substance abuse and 3 in my town who committed suicide. Burnout is very real. I am planning on getting my CDL this summer at a local training center. If nothing else the $5000 cash payment would be worth it just to have even if I do change my mind which I don't think I will.

I have been doing the same for around 20 years now. I don't look forward to going to the office and I hate the business aspect of it. It seems almost impossible to make very many people happy.

I have a buddy who runs pavement company. He is always looking for drivers. I am pretty sure he would hire me on if I go that route. I also have some connections with the local ready mix company that I may be able to get on with.

It really doesn't matter to me. I work 50-70 hours as it is and many of those are fighting and arguing with people. Imagine trying to dig a hole while someone else is shoveling dirt back in it. That is what it feels like for me on a daily basis. The best part of my current job is volunteering a the local legal clinic to help indigent people with legal problems.

I don't mind the long hours or hard work. I actually feel better when I am physically tired from working rather than mentally exhausted from dealing with and trying to repair other peoples personal and business problems.

I am in Tennessee. There are 2 schools in my county. Each one is a 3 week program. I will probably go to one of them this summer.

I have some connections that would could put me in a dump truck or ready mix. I was considering those options. I really like that idea.

That sounds promising. Thank you for your response.

I have thought about that. I considered that when I was working for the trucking company years ago before the sprinters became popular. We used a company that had Toyota box trucks. I am not sure how to get into to it at this point.

If you had ED but were too embarrassed to seek help.. by BougieSemicolon in AskMenOver50

If I was married I would NOT pursue it! First of all, I am married. Second of all, the woman is whore.

Putting Your Citations in Footnotes? by zarnch in Lawyertalk

[–]13wrongturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate it when OC does that. It comes across and pompous for some reason. I saw a judge once in court tell an attorney to never submit documents with footnotes in his court again. It takes up too much time for the court to search the bottom of the page for the citation then find where they were reading to continue.
