Yeah, I definitely like what I do. The hardest part is dealing with unreasonable clients and lawyers. The industry is filled with lawyers who obviously hate their work, and as a result are very unpleasant to deal with. I find the worst people are the rejects from the large firms. They spend a lot of their time trying to one up people or creating unecessary work to pad their billables but are usually awful awful lawyers. Zero people skills and zero grasp of practical negotiation skills.
I've also worked a lot of ther jobs in different industries in the past, so I know what a bad job is. This is most certainly not that. I've only been called for one year, but can definitely see myself working as a lawyer for at least the next 10 years.
