manduke got a reaction from elanorci in "What if" questions
I've gone through law school and worked as an attorney, only to realize after a few years that it wasn't for me. You can never know for sure that you will like what you're doing until you're actually doing it. If it turns out you don't, well, you can still switch gears. It just takes a little more effort because of the inertia of the career path you've been on. If you don't like the program, you'll be able to figure out the best way forward with a little soul searching, some extra effort, and a willingness to bear the transition costs (money, time). And even dead end career paths or programs can still improve your resume and set you apart from other job candidates or applicants for other programs if you use that background to your advantage.

Speaking as a husband, we're overrated. You'd be better off finding a wife. That's what I did!

manduke got a reaction from slaNYC in Dilemma - drop out for law school or stick it out?
My thought: finish your masters. I went to law school and have been practicing law a few years. The job market is very tough in most states. Your masters is an advantage over your competition I wouldn't give up when you're so close. Besides, you never know how you may feel after you've gone through law school. I never pictured myself in academia, but now I'm applying to grad school because the law is eating my soul. A masters might give you career flexibility you might find helpful later if you end up feeling like me.
