Anyway it's good that you choose personal happiness over your job since most people I know hate their jobs but they stay anyway. Good luck to you on your future and hopefully it works out in the end

Three extra years of school, thousands of dollars in student loan debt, and a bar review course & exam just to help people and corporations that you loathe save money and stay out of trouble with little to no thanks from your superiors for years on end. Sound like fun?
Most of the people I know who truly love practicing law are masochists or they're one of the fortunate few who specialize in an area that allows them to actually help people. One positive of transitioning into a different field is that I will always be a lawyer as long as I'm paying my fees and taxes. So, I will likely be doing both for a little bit as I transition. I also didn't have to take a real estate course before the exam because I covered most of the same material in my law school courses.
