There may end up being many people following this looking for inspiration bc practically everyone is looking for cool non-law exit options (except the handful of true believers of course). Been looking for about 25 years…

Sometimes I fantasize about quitting the corporate hell law grind and being a train driver for the LIRR (especially now given the recent strike). A lot of those guys are making well over $200k, generous pension, strong union protection, healthcare, well funded Railroad Retirement (instead of Social Security), and a super fun job seeing scenery all day and not having to care about work in the off time. I might do it next time they’re hiring if I burn out.

I have train autism so that actually sounds like a dream job to me
Saw a finance lawyer become a “yak farmer”
Prob not a dream job for most people but I think I eventually want to be a realtor.
Separately, I often wonder if people don’t respond on these threads (like, ever) because no one actually has left to do something cool or if the people doing cool things don’t follow these threads anymore. Everyone says a law degree is so useful but seems like that may not be so true in practice!!

Wellness influencer. A couple became exec coaches.
I see these executive coaches on LinkedIn a lot and have wondered how much they can possibly be making. Seems a bit scammy to me.
