All I hear is bitching and moaning about it. Are these just whiners or do some people actually like it?

People who really enjoy feeling prestigious and enjoy living the expensive NYC lifestyle enjoy the job.

Somedays...other days it sucks. It's a job dude, that's why they pay you.

It's alright. I know for sure that I'd enjoy being a partner. As an associate, I've had my share of drudgery, but a greater amount of interesting, challenging work. i enjoy thinking about my cases. I like the people I work with. I like meeting and working with witnesses and experts.

It's not bad - interesting work, but working is still working. I think the people who bitch the most are those who have never worked. I don't even mean full-time after college - even as a lifeguard in high school or something. It always amazes me how many law students never held a single job.

I like it, but it's a job of extremes.

Whenever you're doing doc-review, it's never just a few hours---it's a few weeks, which gets mind-numbing. Then you want to do substantive work, but you can't.

But when you get substantive work, you just get buried under it and life becomes very stressful. And at that point you want to go back to doing doc-review, but you can't.

It's difficult to find balance. But if you manage to pull it off, and you have a good, smart, mentor, it can be a pretty sweet gig.
