Why do I want to be a lawyer, anyway?

This is the question of the day.

Why, when the job presents about a million chances to mess something up (and I invariably do), would I want to do it every day? Do I like stress? No. Do I enjoy confrontation? It gives me ulcers. Am I looking forward to tackling people's legal problems when they probably know more about the law and procedure than I do? Sounds like a sure road to sanctions for incompetence.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't relocate to Mexico and sell oranges on the side of the highway?

Selling my body in Tijauna sounds better than being a lawyer right now. I say if oranges are your dream then damnit, live the dream Jen, live the dream!

Thank you, cynical, I've already purchased my plane ticket and a bag of fruit.

You can't bring fruit on the airplane numbnuts. No wonder you're afraid to be a lawyer. And no, you can't take your gun either.
