I Don't Want To Be A Lawyer Anymore—What Can I Do?

This week on the podcast, we are re-releasing an episode that came out about this time last year. It's one of the most popular episodes of the podcast. This episode answers one of the biggest questions that I get, which is, “I don't want to be a lawyer anymore, what can I do?”  There are actually two dimensions to this question. When I’m asked this, it’s usually like, “I don't want to be a lawyer. What are my other career options? And, trust me, I know it’s frustrating. When I realized that I did not want to be a lawyer, I literally had no idea what to do next. We’re on this one-way track to becoming a lawyer, and once you realize that the law isn’t the right fit for you, it can be extremely overwhelming to think about what else you can do for a career.  Listen in to get the answer to what you can do when you realize that you don’t want to be a lawyer.
