Unhappy Associates
Posted by AustinGroothuis | 2 Aug, 2006
This article from American Lawyer about a survey on the satisfaction level of associates at law firms is pretty interesting. The conclusion is that associates have been unsatisfied for the past 20 years and continue to be so.
Nothing you probably didn't know, but just consider that a lot of people are unhappy taking this career path. Doesn't mean it's not for you, but make sure you can handle it if you go down that path.
