To Drop Or Not To Drop

I don't know whether you should stay in law school or not. Why did you go? I don't think it has much to do with being a lawyer. I mean, if you want to be a lawyer you have to credential yourself appropriately but as the folks at De Novo recently discussed the legal education and the legal profession are pretty distinct experiences. If you don't like law school you may still like being a lawyer. If you love law school you may still hate being a lawyer. If you don't want to be a lawyer and you hate law school, you probably want to take a break, and maybe drop out entirely.

UPDATE: More on dropping out:

A quick Google search finds me nothing comprehensive, but these interesting results:

Al Gore dropped out of law school.

Paul Simon dropped out of law school.

The writer/director of "Two Weeks Notice" and "Miss Congeniality" dropped out of law school.

Al Gore dropped out huh? That tips the scales towards staying in school. Go read this whole thing too.
