More Horrors In Legal Profession
"Stay away from the bar, pun intended." Prof. Pugsley
Yesterday we had a guest speaker who told of the horrors of being a lawyer. He gave statistics that I can no longer remember because of the trauma of hearing that most lawyers, even those that seem to be happy and fine have huge problems, whether professional, or personal. After telling stories of lawyers in his "let's get help group," and speaking of how many lawyers abuse alcohol and drugs I question whether I picked the right profession to go into.

Oh, also, that guy was a pathetic f-up. He never should have been a lawyer to begin with, and he got what he deserved.
One study says that 20% of lawyers have drug or alcohol problems, as opposed to 10% of the overall population. No idea what constitutes a problem, however. It could be that lawyers have a problem finding a source...
