‘Everything being urgent’ is SO REAL, everything is so urgent that nothing is 😭 and then the urgent deadline gets pushed anyway

Such a hard decision to make. You should be so proud 🥹 I am almost finished my degree and I know law is only temporary for me.

It’s hard to have a sense of urgency when every single task is somehow “urgent” yet in reality almost none of the tasks are genuinely life saving or can’t be held off for another couple of days!

This is the worst thing about Universities - they actually don't teach you what the job entails...best of luck mate!

Oh man I feel you. I haven’t even been admitted yet and I’m working in private and the every morning 330am anxiety wake ups thinking I’ve screwed something up is hell! The constant rushing. I have however, got an incredibly supportive team around me and an amazing boss willing to support and mitigate stress as a collective. But yes, private is fricken EXHAUSTING. You didn’t want to go into something inhouse? Or government?

Everything can't be urgent. If everything is urgent then nothing is urgent.

It’s your life. The only person you have to answer to is you. If you’re happy with your decision, it’s the right decision.

Honestly I understand your decision. I work at a top tier atm as an administrator while I study the JD and what you said about everything being urgent and the anxiety going into work everyday is so real….I genuinely get so stressed bc of the amount of deadlines and I always have to check my emails the night before so I know what I’m walking into the next day so my anxiety isn’t so bad at work….mind you I’m saying this already just as an administrator like imagine when I’m an actual lawyer😭 it’s really tough

Good on you for realising so early on in your journey that it isn’t for you. The amount of courage it takes to step away from something that doesn’t feel right is a lot. You’ve got your life ahead of you, here’s to growing and finding something you absolutely live and breathe

I’ve also stepped away from law and have no interest in going back tbh. The consistent sense of extreme urgency & anxiety every single day & night (and weekends) is not something I can continue to do for the rest of my life. And that is ok. Redirection is perfectly fine. At the end of the day this is YOUR life - choose how to live it.

Well done! I did a bachelor of law/criminology for 5 years, felt exactly how you did and now im a teacher.. leaving Law was the best decision I ever made and don’t get me wrong, teaching is another level of stress but so fulfilling to the soul

Better to realise this now than in 20 years when you’re angry and regretful. Great self-awareness. All the best for the future!

As someone who has been in your position, mental health and physical well-being should ALWAYS be a priority. The pressure that comes with working for a Law firm, is crippling on many levels, the anxiety will make you question your life’s choices. Not forgetting the blow to our confidence, feeling like a failure for choosing to walk away from what we thought would be the career. I can confidently tell you, there are SO many other successful and well paying pathways that legal graduates and lawyers can pursue. Take a step back, regroup and find a fulfilling role.

I didn’t have any of those problems. For me it was always the abusive partner (my boss)
