The Generational Mindset Gap Around Career Changes with Morgan Hall

In Episode 019 of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah talks with Morgan Hall. Morgan left legal practice after 4 1/2 years and is now a sales executive at a tech company. In this conversation, Morgan shares about: Why she’s “happier than ever” working in sales; Being raised to think that her only three career options were doctor, lawyer, or engineer; Being pushed in the direction of becoming a lawyer because she had a strong personality and “liked to argue,” Hating law school, but thinking that was normal; Why worrying about looking like a quitter kept her in law school, even though she was unhappy; Disliking her first job after law school, but thinking at first that she just needed to find a different lawyer job; How she dealt with others not understanding why she wanted to leave; How generational differences regarding the perception of work complicate these conversations; The most important thing to remember when considering leaving the law; Dealing with the reality of having a large amount of student loan debt; and much more!
