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
Praying you got into a top 7 school or the paychecks won’t be much diff lol
HAHA I did the reverse switch. D1 is riiiight on
To be fair, you're a media planner. You work in media, not advertising.
Wasn’t expecting this, but loving the entertainment
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
There’s a lot of money to be made here.
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.
Congratulations! 🎉🎊🍾
Winner
Just got a call from a previous digital head I worked with 3 years ago .. he left an just graduated from Law school last week... if that’s your calling... don’t look back
Good luck! I left a top tiered law school for advertising!
This seems to be a trend. Smart move.
I, for one, wish you luck. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
I make more than my friend who is a junior partner. Good luck, follow your dreams!
If I was a creative, I’d stay. Unfortunately not the same deal for media.
Woof, I guess if I was a media planner...
Congrats! Best of luck 🥂
Ad person + Lawyer = Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad. Good luck at that Cinnabon.
😂😂 you thought you’d get ‘paid’ ‘stacks’ ‘paper’ working in advertising???
Wait until your student loans come due
