However, working in Disputes has always scared me. I like the work, but am anxious that I would be losing out on whatever little time I have to myself. I am not a party goer, but I would like some time off to prepare for higher studies or a future career transition.
How bad is it? Will it suck the life out of me completely? Would I not even have the weekends off? Please help me figure out what it might be like realistically, and if it'd end my plans for exploring higher education/alternate career options completely. TIA!
ive only interned so far and i was counting down days and looking at the clock 100 times a day honestly starting to contemplate if im not meant for practicing law
