How would you rate yourself from one to 10 as a risk taker? One indicates that you still haven’t taken your first airplane flight, and 10 indicates that you jump out of airplanes and love it. If you would rate yourself anywhere from seven to 10, I have just one question for you: Why did you go to law school?

While there are a few lawyers who thrive on risk, most lawyers are not comfortable with the concept. They are not generally entrepreneurs. They were the kids who studied like crazy and participated in the right extracurricular clubs in order to have a chance to go to one of the prestigious law schools and thus one of the prestigious law firms. If all of that failed, a second-rate school and a second-rate firm would do just fine.
