Used to dream about courtroom battles. Now, just the thought of filing another motion makes me want to crawl under my desk. Is this burnout, or am I just in the wrong field?

If you’ve been working long hrs with little to no dwn time, it’s likely burnout. But if you dread the idea of going to wrk or doing any aspect of your job then maybe you don’t like it and you’re in the wrong field.

Probably a mix of the two to be honest. I realized I have no desire to be in this field. Searching for a way out!

You might just be lacking a challenge. I absolutely hate doing the same tasks over and over which is why I became an adjuster. Every claim is different and you're doing different tasks every day. Maybe try to find a way to challenge yourself to get through the burnout or find a new firm to work with.
