Second highest suicide rate after dentists. Rampant substance abuse. I avoided this by being my own boss. No overtime or weekends. No pressure to log billable hours. Helping ordinary people instead of big corporations. Works for me now with young family.

I had my big walkabout after articling - 5 months in South America. Best thing I could have done.
