I’m a 2 year associate, going on 3rd year and I absolutely dread the field I’m in. My concern is that it’s good money, and I have no idea what other field to go in to and where even to start, and scared to start over when I’ve already learned so much in my current field. Any advice?

Start to explore areas of interest. Better now at 3yrs in than 10 years. It’s worth the time to step back (if needed) and pivot now.

I’m a lists type of person so I’d say make a list of what you do like about your job and another list on what you don’t. Then start looking at job descriptions that may fit into more of what you like or want to do. You could also go to state/county bar events and network with other attorneys in different fields which could help. Maybe attend random CLEs just to get extra exposure in different areas, etc.

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
