I am a lawyer, and hate it, can't think of a thing I'd like to do with my life except be a waitress in a diner on Rt. 66.
Over the past 5 years I have been a civil lawyer, a public defender, a prosecutor, and an environmental attorney. I hate it all!
However, I have 90,000 in student loans, 10 in cc debt, 12 personal loan, and 20+ in a car. (all adds up to atleast 1300/month)
Bankruptcy doesn't really solve anything since the changed the laws, and there are no sugar-daddies on the horizon.
I love people, to help people, to make people happy, to be outdoors, to take pictures, to talk endlessly, I am extra-ordinarily intelligent, but a total ditz, I am pretty, though a bit to heavy to be a stripper, I am no good at teaching, I am single, w/o children, I have no connections to anywhere, so I could in theory move anywhere, except that they must allow my dogs.
I am looking for a creative solution, something that will fulfill me but let me pay my bills.
Any suggestions?

You have the makings of a very successful Realtor....and I'm not kidding.
(The "ditz" part cinched my opinion.)

I probably don't have to tell you this, but you don't have to be a lawyer just because you have a JD. Many law school graduates pursue opportunities outside of the law. There's a book by Hillary Mantis called Alternative Careers for Lawyers. You can get it through Amazon.com. If you don't want to purchase the book, you can check out her article on Vault.com at:

Good luck!

First thing is to shut down your lifestyle. You spend too much money. Your debts need to be paid and you will have to do it using your law degree unless you can find another field to pay you as well as law. I doubt it. You can pursue your personal interests outside of work. Not too many people get to do what they love, especially those in debt. Transfer your cc debt to zero interest cards and get them paid off. Work part time as a waitress for extra money and you will see how fortunate you are to have a degree. I wish I could have been a lawyer. Maybe you just haven't foud your niche in law. What was your motivation for going to law school? Labeling yourself as a ditz is unhealthy. do something worthwhile.

Why don't you try to get on the legal team of a corporation. You will not have to practice law, but you would review contracts and help write new contracts. It is a good paying job without the stress of the court room.

How about working at an advertising agency as an account executive? They are always looking for hardworking, smart, attractive people who are single with no children (because of working overtime and travel).
