Got into law school today. Peace out advertising ✌🏻 It was fun, but the pay checks were not.

I personally don't know any lawyers who are happy though all make a lot of money, specifically in corporate law. 18 hour days locked in office working on soul crushing business litigation with absolutely no personal life. Buried in law school student loans similar to medical school. A cog in huge law corporations and just another associate. Must start from pure bottom and very rigid path to promotion.
There are many other kinds of law and law careers obviously so as long as that is what you WANT to do, go for it and prosper! I always wanted to be a lawyer but in criminal law and ultimately aborted the effort. Best of luck in your new path!

Thanks! Fortunate that I won’t have any debt, so excited to check out an 18 hour day at a firm rather than my current 18 hour days getting yelled at by clients for pausing an audio spot in rural Idaho more than an hour after requested! I love negotiating contracts so hopefully that will work out

To be fair, you're a media planner. You work in media, not advertising.

Just a heads up-law firm life is even more soul sucking than adland--and A LOT less fun.

To be fair, if your goal was the pay then advertising was never really for you anyway

To be fair, you're going to have to work just as much, if not more, in a higher pressure setting and an office environment that's not as much fun... But yeah it's true that you should make tons more money.
