I'd make the jump. Why stay in something you don't like?

And you want to be a lawyer??????

Look, if you go to law school you might end up doing law that calls on your accounting background. Then what? Do you think there is a kind of law practice that would excite you? What is it?

I think if you want something different, look for more rewarding careers than law. Depends on what you do. Law can be extremely rewarding at times. It can also be reaaly annoying, dull, and rotten. Don't kid yourself about how great it will be. It can be great. Often isn't and many people hate it.

Well, I'm in the midst of a career change myself. I'm a graduate of a top aeronautical university with a B.S. in Aeronautical Science, along with commercial pilot and flight instructor certificates. From a very young age, I wanted to fly airplanes. When I got older, I decided that I would like to fly jets for a major airline, and spent four years in college working towards that goal. I took out roughly $130,000 in student loans and made it happen.

As soon as I graduated, I took a look around. I fully expected to graduate, go work as a flight instructor for a couple years, then go fly for some regional carrier. In fact, this had been my plan for years. But when I got out of school, things just didn't feel right. The aviation industry for pilots is a very volatile one, with low initial pay and terrible job security. Even senior pilots for large carriers are taking massive pay cuts, and are still subject to furlough. I love to fly, but I decided that in order to go into this industry, you had to have some other reason besides "I love to fly." What that reason is, I have no clue.

So, I started casually looking at other options, and came up with the idea to go work for the FAA. Long story short, I'm moving to Los Angeles in December to spend a year in Air Traffic Controller school. I'm making a very difficult jump, but I think it will be well worth it in the end.

Anyways, that's just my story. I can't really give you much advice, but I just wanted to point out that you're not alone not feeling satisfied with job or an industry. Good luck out there.

Based on this post, don't quit and go to law school yet. You are setting yourself up to be less productive and more unhappy. Figure out why you should like what you do more. Hint - there isn't some "better good" lurking in the ether out there for you to discover through law school.

If I had it to do all over, I would get dual degrees in Accounting and Lw and be a tax lawyer. I think keeping as much money out of the hands of the government as possible is a very noble profession.
