Thank you so much for sharing. I quit after 1L because Covid hit and I really didn't think zoom law school was worth the $$. That and I fantasized about murdering my legal writing professor before and after every assignment... But you hit the nail on the head with attorneys either being true believers or functional burnouts. I look back on all the attorneys that I've met before and during law school and I can only think of about two who were true believers. The dozen or so others just seemed miserable at the end of the day. Considering I was much too cynical to be a truly passionate attorney I knew immediately which one I'd end up. Now I work in IT and I like it a lot. Similar values to law oddly enough - constant education, strategic problem solving, helping your client achieve certain goals, etc.
