Lots of big companies have lawyers in their accounting or HR Departments.
Plus, of course, there are many, many different types of law practice, and a lot of them never include any courtroom practice.

corporate attorneys

Then you just flushed almost $200,000 dollars down the toilet. If you don't want to practice in the courtroom, why did you apply to and decide to go to law school. It seems to me that you should have thought about that before applying.

Not all lawyers go to court...mostly only criminal attorneys and appellate attorneys. Even civil litigators spend little time in the court room. You can still be a lawyer and not go to court.
