And you thought law school was tough? You had the late-night studying for exams, the stress of the being called on in class, the pressure to keep up with everyone else and then the anxiety associated with taking the bar exam. Well, the stress has only just begun! You have now landed yourself a coveted position with a terrific law firm, one that you think fits your needs or maybe one that just actually offered you a position that provides you with a paycheck.
Regardless of the reason, you are finally setting off on your journey. You have worked long and hard to get to this point, and you are hoping it all pays off. You are ready to begin your new position with your brand new law firm, but have you thought about the fact that working long and hard to get there also means working long and hard to stay there? One does not become a lawyer to have an easy-going, flexible and carefree schedule.
