“My lawyer friend said not to become a lawyer unless you really, really want to work as a lawyer, with all that implies, the paperwork, the 80-hour workweeks, etc. There are more ways to make a living, many more ways.”

But isn’t that sound advice for any field? (D was similarly cautioned re: arch.)

If you have a choice, choose something you enjoy. That is, of course, so long as (1) you can afford the cost of whatever post-BA/BS training is required and (2) you are willing to accept the life-style that your chosen profession supports.
