re: Who here has taken the LSAT?

I took it in 1997. I did zero prep and got a 172. I had a bad grade point from having screwed around so much during my 7 years (with semesters off here and there, including one for rehab) of undergraduate, so I wanted a true raw score to help me decide if I really wanted to go to law school and if I had a chance of succeeding if I went.

I have been practicing law for almost 19 years now and still enjoy it. I find it to be a very liberating career. I have law partners, and there are those pesky judges telling you what to do, but I really love being my own boss. I would probably feel like I worked too much if I was working for someone else, and not making as much money as I do.

A lot of people don’t enjoy it as a career, and a lot of lawyers aren’t very good at it. I haven’t ever gone back and counted, but I would guess that less than half of my graduating class is currently practicing law.
