For balance, I love what I do. As I said earlier, I believe that if you love it the money, etc. will follow but it doesn't normally work the other way around. I find that most people thinking of becoming lawyers are doing it for reasons that might play on TV but don't in real life. This is why year after year the law schools graduate people with expectations of grandeur who soon become bitter and disappointed.
