I did. But I landed in a 1% outcome from a lower 25% outcome in law. So my pay went down but my QOL jumped dramatically.

i was already an academic librarian. the short answer is go get an MLS. the reality is the market is REALLY stiff and i am in the middle of a search right now for an instructor position with 98 apps and at least 10 jds and about same number of Ph.D.'s and half of the app pool have dual masters.

it's really really rough out there. i'm shocked that i got the job i have to be honest.

yes. went to t14 on mostly scholly and halfassed ls and never got biglaw. i do regret basically not trying at all and not landing biglaw, but i pulled the plug and never bothered groveling for shit work. never had loans though. i dunno if that counts as quitting, but it genuinely looks like a horrible profession (not that i have any perspective).
