Basically, I got sick of wishing my life away. Every weekday was spent counting down the hours until the weekend, and most weekends were spent in the office counting down the hours until the next free weekend which rarely ever came. That's no way to live, and after considering it for about a year I finally decided to make a change.

There are some areas of law that are less suicide-inducing than the stuff you've been up to. Commercial / IP? Gag...

You're probably right and I know that blankall and valo's advice is good about finding a job where I can use my legal education whether or not I'm working as a lawyer. That's probably what I'll end up doing eventually, but I figure I have the opportunity to experience something different now, so I'll enjoy my time off and reevaluate somewhere down the line.
