I've been a lawyer for 30 years, and I'm tired of fighting others battles.
It is so exhausting to always be solving impossible problems for angry people. I am so weary of it. I am certain that extreme conflict is robbing me of so much of my soul. I am very good at what I do, I cannot I just cannot stand this anymore. Where can I go from here. When I list out my wheelhouse skills I groan: I am great with people and great at conflict resolution. I am very good at assessing, recapping and explaining complex situations and conflicts. I am great at speaking and coming up with an argument on my feet and am usually always able to bury the emotions of a situation and wind my way through a negotiation or conflict into a great outcome. I am sometimes embarrassed at how well I can pull a rabbit out of a hat. I am just so tired of it that I want to jump. What other ship can I jump onto, and is there any greener grass in reality? What other career can I drop into? I cannot see my skills qualifying me to be anything other than a lawyer. I have had this conversation with myself for 15 years and keep coming back to the same place, so I just stay in the grind.
