Insofar as it’s been evinced by the lawyers I've worked with over the last two years, one of the primary reasons to become a lawyer is to take vacations.

Evidence: the week my mother died, her lawyer was on vacation; the week my grandfather died, his was on vacation; this week, I emailed same for an update on estate / probate, and guess what? Again on vacation (as was the person handling the probate part of it). Clearly I went into the wrong field as I haven't taken a vacation in 20 years and wouldn't have the slightest clue of how to do so.

Must be a law school class?
