Basically I would be starting over from scratch, and the only thing I would have going for me is if I end up loving the job. But if I don't, I will be in a world of doo doo. I think anything you try for the first few times will seem interesting, but once the novelty of it wears off, it will probably end up being another drudgeship for you. The question is whether that kind of drudge work is something you can live with, depending on your overall view of the job. There's a few prosecutors at my job that work just a few rooms away, and from where I stand, their jobs look even worse than mine. There's just so many unknowns that I can't say for certain what field I'd truly be happy in. :sadnana: Lawmommy: DO keep me apprised. :grin:

I know a number of people who either loved their jobs immediately, or were at least ok with it. I am learning how to write memos right now, and it's really not that bad at all, actually. Pretty formulaic, but at the same time interesting. Well, why are you so sure that your first job is going to be dreadful?
