The Wall Street Journal Law Blog has the sad story of a trapped lawyer:
I never wanted to be a lawyer but now I’m stuck. I did not grow up wanting to be a lawyer, I just ended up there because I had good grades and was attracted to the big salary. I left everything in my early 30s and travelled the world for two years, but then I had to come back to law-related work to pay the mortgage. Now I’m in my late 30s and desperately want to do something meaningful. But I have obligations, have acquired a lifestyle. So I lack the courage to change completely, to give up the big salary, even though I know I could be much happier living another life . . . but how to get there?
