One of the women I went to law school with was an ex-English teacher who got burned out and decided to change careers. Her excellent writing skills, hard work, and natural intelligence got her a stint on the Law Review, membership in Order of the Coif, ultimately a clerkship with one of the United States Supreme Court Justices, and she now teaches law school. There was another ex-teacher whose career was not quite so stellar, but still admirable. On the other hand, locally I've known several ex-teachers who went to law school, and then became disenchanted with the law and went back to teaching. As you know, you can't be a good lawyer unless you like to read and write, and most lawyers like helping people, so there is some natural overlap. I think locally experienced teachers are paid rather well, and there are benefits like health care, paid vacations, paid holidays, and retirement benefits. And for a woman, teaching has the benefit of being able to juggle work and family better than most lawyers ever will.
