Alternative Career Options for Burned-Out Lawyers

If you're unhappy working as a lawyer, here are a few alternative careers that may suit you:

Advocacy work. Lawyers often have experience advocating on someone else's behalf, which means a shift to working for an advocacy group could make sense. "Those are directly transferable skills to a nonprofit [organization]," Krasna says.

Entrepreneurship. Particularly if you oversee your own law practice, consider running a business or nonprofit organization unrelated to law. Your skill set likely puts you in a good position to head up a new venture; lawyers understand the value of the billable hour, know how to negotiate contracts like leases, and often have a client-focused thought process, which can benefit new businesses, Dowd-Higgins says.

Therapist. Because lawyers often enter the profession with the goal of helping others, some transition into a field that seems unrelated: therapy. This could require earning another degree, says Dowd-Higgins, who has seen lawyers become therapists. Consider a job as a marriage and family therapist, which made our 2011 list of Best Careers.
