I quit law school because I could see it was going to be a misery.

(This is a less dramatic situation in Australia because law is an undergraduate degree in this country).

Nevertheless, I greatly value the habits of thought that law school taught. I find the legal way of thinking illuminates a lot of the work I do, and the practice in writing brief upon opinion upon statement upon tutorial paper is an education in itself.
