I've been unemployed over a year after five years in BIGLAW. I want to apply to jobs and stuff but the thought of working again makes me want to vomit. Even if I could get a cushy 9 to 5 fed government job I would still be upset.

I mean that is all there is to life. Just working your life away trying to pretend you are prestigious because of your profession or income level. That is fucking stupid and sad, but that is how the mass of people live.

BIGLAW has ruined me.

I know but you still spend most of your waking time in the fucking office. That is just depressing. And people in government are trolls. BIGLAW sucked cause people are too consumed by work, FEDLAW would suck because people are just braindead morons. Either way it sucks though yeah FEDLAW would be much better. I still can't handle working anywhere. Fuck me.

work for the weekends baby. nothing better than unwinding at your buddies ranch, shooting guns and boozing. makes all the office grind worth it. also get a girlfriend/friends to go out with after work and travel with on holidays. life is full of opportunities, maintain your charactes and try to build something and maybe something grand could come your way in a few years and you'd be prepared to jump on it. it beats having a bitchmade mindset as my nigger :D put it. focus on the good little homey.

drinking non stop = stupid frat boy shit

tittie bars = ditto

vegas = super ditto

start living more like your ancestors did for thousands of years up until a few decades ago. i.e. working in some nature, and exercise and fresh air and less booze. move to a smaller town. take a job abroad. fuck man

why didn't you become a partner for a few years so you could save money and then live off of interest?

That doesn't happen, ever. Nobody that sticks with BIGLAW gets out of it alive. Enjoy a heart attack at 55. Even making millions, your wife will increase her consumption to keep you living paycheck to paycheck.

yeah, most of the partners i say are fucking addicted to work so they never enjoy their money but their wives and kids sure fucking do

that said even spending five years in BIGLAW can give u a decent sized nest egg if u are good at saving

I mean, after biglaw you should have your debts paid off and have enough saved up to do whatever you want for the most part. If you have 300k saved up you don't NEED to work a desk job again if you don't want to.

Go be an artist, work construction, be a park ranger, idk mang.

yeah, it's so weird how :D always attempts to contribute substantively, and sometimes in very opinionated ways, about the intricacies of the daily BIGLAW grind when he's never been within a mile of the profession.
