An Honest Lawyer's Advice For Young People: Don't Go Into Law -- You'll Regret It

What are you worth as a lawyer? It depends on how much you bill.

I’m not sure I’d recommend that a young person go into law.

When I was starting out, it was more of a profession, and your worth was determined by the service you provided. Now it’s become more of a business, and your worth is determined by the fee you’re able to collect.
