No longer despised for being a lawyer?
I think being a lawyer is about on par with being one of the criminals some of us have to defend. In the eyes of the public, that is. My father was a lawyer, and steered me that way from when I was in diapers. But I don’t like being so obviously disliked, while he doesn’t seem to mind. I’ve given it 5 years, but I’ve had enough. Much to my surprise Dad has given me his full support. He’s even helping me with my career change resume to get that first crucial opening; in fact, he seems to be as excited about it as I am. Maybe he’s never had such excitement; his Dad was a lawyer too.
