Being available 24/7 is not the same as being dedicated. I learned this the hard way. Where do you draw the line now?

Dedicated to the students and families I serviced, even if I had to work overtime to achieve it.

Not dedicated to the district and finally learned to say, no! I’m too overwhelmed to help out right now.

We're conditioned to believe being a good worker is being a good human but in fact its the opposite. I used to work in very unethical companies and you never recover your mental health from being a part of complicity.

So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Is it the smart move to take a pay cut and clerk for a judge?

Little context: I was an ED student, full time paralegal/clerk throughout my law school experience, and a single mother. I did not take advantage of the law school extracurriculars and missed out on clerk application deadlines my final year (2020). Would it benefit me to take a pay cut as a transactional clerk by about $20k to work as a clerk for a year then re-enter firm life? I’m transactional and enjoy that line of work.
