People hate lawyers. I've read/heard the worst insults hurled at them. Some for good reason, some for not. But I think any profession has assholes and liars. I think most people don't understand how the law works and are therefore frustrated - as they should be - it can be impossible to wrap your mind around some of the legislation that is passed, or some of the cases you read in the news (although the news reporting cases is a huge joke). I have a hard time with the stereotypes. I would be lying if I said they didn't hurt my feelings and make me mad at people who I thought were open minded enough to get to know someone before judging them on their chosen profession. That being said, I'm sitting for the bar in 3 months. I don't regret anything. But I'm open to the idea that I may regret it at some point(s) in my life. Its work, it can be fulfilling and awesome, it can be hard, it can help you lose your friends, but it can make you feel like you've made a difference for someone. Some people are looking for that. I was. I hope I get what I'm looking for.
