 What Can You Do With a Law Degree?: A Lawyers' Guide to Career Alternatives Inside, Outside & Around the Law

Summary: Helpful book made me realize I want to keep practicing law.
Comments: Arron encourages a lot of self-examination. I picked up this book when I was sure that I wanted to stop being a lawyer after 19 years of practice.

I saw an ad in the newspaper, applied for the job and now I am back in a position with a lot of client contact and in one of my favorite places in the world, Madison, WI. When I was done with MY self-examination, I gave it to a friend who, having made partner in a large law firm in Chicago, is working it through and may very well quit and become an Episcopal priest or deliver pizzas...
