I have reached a point in my life where I have to choose between a rich life and an enjoyable life. It's a choice between pursuing law (very profitable) and pursuing a field you guys would call McJob-tier but I find very fun and actually makes money in this country. Not as profitable as law by far, but that's the sacrifice I'd have to make.

All my life I've lived with people complaining about not having enough money, and it drilled a desire into me to not become like that. I don't want permanent budget issues for the rest of my life. However, I don't want permanent suicidal thoughts on the job for the rest of my life either.

Money or enjoyability? What is better in life?

Go into law, just for a year or so, then see how you feel.

Go for the law. This is America, a rich life is an enjoyable life. Whatever your other choice is just do it for a hobby.

Don't talk about law like it's easy to get into. What's your GPA? Unless you're going to HYS or are graduating summa cum laude from a T10, you're going to be unemployed.

If you can make a decent/livable wage for the lifestyle you want doing something you love why would you not do that?

If you hate the idea of practicing law so much you'd have "permanent suicidal thoughts," do the other job. Fuck what other people think. It might not make you AS much money, but if you make enough to provide for yourself, do that. You only live once
