Is there still a shortage of lawyers in the rural midwest? If I take the Nebraska bar could I conceivably blow up my entire life to go be a country lawyer? Any lovely states still paying people to set up shop in nowhere? Have law degree and passed FL bar, working as CPA now but mostly want to kill myself, considering other options first thanks.

You are a CPA and have passed the bar? I thought that was a high demand set of certifications for city work? I have exams next week. Right now I'm learning! Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Apr 26, 2018 |

Not sure doing soul crushing professional work of a different flavor while exchanging sun for tornados and palm trees for corn is really a step up in quality of life. Spew your guts about the life passions you aren't realizing!

Kawasaki Nun posted:You are a CPA and have passed the bar? I thought that was a high demand set of certifications for city work? Yes, but I've got a weird and lovely work history. Also I live outside the US right now because my (light brown) wife is terrified of Trump. I suppose if I just leave my family behind to come back to the US I'd be better off in like Atlanta making more money. My only life passions are pizza weed and cartoons and I don't know how to make any money from them. Edit: I just kind of find the impossibility of a social or romantic life kind of appealing.

FL bar is one of the hardest in the nation and you’d rather go gently caress off to nebraska instead of getting a job in central/south fl doing estates/wills for old people?

How do you feel about Taco trucks? I just crunched the numbers and pizza weed cartoon enthusiasts are within one standard deviation of tacos, plus there's been a recent disruption in the market nobody is capitalizing on.

We have a huge tax litigation section where accounting matters. Civil Medicaid fraud. And we have tons of transactional attorneys in comptroller, banking regs, etc. You'd have to be barred though.

My life is a joke right now but I do own at taking tests. I killed the bar exam and the CPA exam, and I don't feel bad bragging about that because it's pretty much the only thing I have in life to brag about. If I can't make this whole "broken marriage while living in a country I hate" thing work, maybe I'll just take the TX bar. Nonexistence posted:How do you feel about Taco trucks?

There's basically no nutrition in that. They have to eat tons of it. But they evolved to eat it because literally no other animal wanted it. I feel that's what opening a rural practice in Nebraska must be like. Being a legal Koala.

If you can get over the initial hump of establishing your practice, you can make a good amount of money in the farming midwest doing property, estate, and some contract work. Farms and farming equipment are worth shitloads of money. Source: I'm an Iowa lawyer.

the only actuary I know is a guy who jumps off buildings and dangles off cranes and poo poo (5 time ninja warrior competitor too, he can't beat stage 3 though what a failure). I would think an actuary lawyer in the Midwest would be fun because you'd be able to insist to every farmer they need a will asap because, well, you know why
