i took one federal income tax law and knew that was the last time i wanted to deal with corporate tax matters. ACRS and MACRS and how to carry losses forward just bores me to tears, and thats only for a class, doing federal, state, country tax laws would make me join the list of burned out lawyers.
areas of law i like are environmental and white collar crime, and basic contracts stuff.

Boring = best paid and lowest attrition.

My brother went to law school for a little bit, he's an excellent reader, very intelligent, but couldn't handle the work and was told his chances of finding a job that doesn't involve paper pushing all day were slim to none, so he quit. He didn't want to be miserable 24/7.

To be quite frank, there are way too many lawyers in this country. Even with the case load, there are just too many.

honestly, if you want to make the most amount of money while working the least amount of time, be a personal injury lawyer. your paychecks come in bunches...sometimes just 3k, then the next month you grab a 33k fee, then every now an then you get that 100k + fee. it's like the lottery business and a 16 year old can do it. if you have finesse and good negotiating skills, you'll be golden.
*edit* you can easily start your own LLC and do everything presuit. you would only need one secretary and a small office to rent to be living comfortably.

Or you could be a baller and get your masters of engineering and your law degree and you could be a patent lawyer. Firms are always looking for those guys, and you make bank. Lot of school tho

yea i was talking more about not having to work as much and making great money
personally, if i followed through and went to law school like i wanted to you a couple years ago, i would have really tried to get into entertainment law.
