I always enjoy hearing about famous people who were once lawyers. Apparently, Gerard Butler has a law degree and worked at a law firm while he sang in a band. He had a little problem with attendance, though. If you fast-forward to about 4:50, you can watch him discuss his distinguished legal career.
Law firm life got you down? Struggling to find work after law school? Read on. I am a former practicing attorney who regrets giving so many years of my life to the legal profession, and so many hard-earned dollars to repay law school debt. I left the law a couple years ago for a temporary administrative assistant position and lived to tell the tale. Here's my story, along with some tips for finding non-legal work, and for repaying your student loans.
David Duchovny was ABD at Yale...that always gave me a giggle.
ReplyDeleteI think that if you have creative talent, you're not really the typical lawyer type anyway. I chose to take my training to work in the entertainment industry & have gotten some very lucky breaks along the way. Now I'm just in that whole "get a paying day job" phase until I can get paid to do entertainment work full time. I'm licensed but not your typical attorney considering creative people like me (lots of them don't like lawyers).
ReplyDeleteJohn Grisham was a lawyer too...
