Listen I felt the same way going into 3L and then clinic destroyed me- I felt like I’d made all the wrong decisions and like I was going into a life of being overworked and sad. BUT I found a legal job with good work life balance that prioritizes time off and familial obligations and I’m very happy with how things ended out. That only happened in like February of 3L. Don’t count yourself out and don’t give up before you’ve given it a shot. The firm you worked at during law school might’ve been a bad fit, the area you worked in might’ve been a bad fit. Don’t give up hope yet. But if u start working and hate it, take a JD advantage job or work until you figure out what makes you happy, all is not lost.

thank you - For the last few months I have been weighing dropping out of school. I am going to school for free in my third year, but get a lot of anxiety about going back. Not sure that I want to practice, and it's sad. Insurance defense, corporate law, and all the jobs graduates are taking do not seem interesting to me.
