Lessons I Learned the Hard Way from Going to Law School - Part 2

Here's the second of 5 lessons I learned from my law school experience that you can apply right now as you search for an alternative career:

Lesson #2: Sitting in my dorm room before first semester of my first year of law school, I experienced an almost overwhelming urge to buy a one-way ticket home. What I mean is that I practically had to tie myself to a chair to keep myself from grabbing my purse and shoes and abandoning all of my possessions to catch a flight that day. I wish the ropes had come loose.

Lesson: Ignore your intuition at your own peril. You know all those job postings you're perusing and interviewing for? If your reaction to them is less than lukewarm, that's your intuition talking again. And since you ignored it in law school, it's probably talking pretty loudly and disgustedly. Listen to it.
