We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

My advice to the original poster and to you will be the same - quit law while it’s early. Save both on redeeming your career and enjoy your youth.
Be brave and work as hard as you can.
I just want to have reasonable work hours so I can have time for myself, for the things I love, for my family, friends and community even if it comes at a cost of professional success.
Am I wrong to have no professional goals? Is there any way I can proceed from here?
Anything helps - perspectives, practical tips, etc.
