When I left my law firm for a nonlegal job, I had a lot of people asking me at the time, 'What are you doing? You're throwing away your 10 years of practice and your law degree.' I'm like absolutely not, because I knew I could leverage all my experiences to do well on my new chosen career path.
Lawyers who have left law and friends and family of lawyers who have left law use the phrase 'recovering lawyer' accompanied with a chuckle way too much. There are three problems with this. Not funny. Not original and to quote the mighty Gabriel Byrne in The Usual Suspects, 'You're missing the point!' You are always a lawyer and should be proud of all you have accomplished.
