A few days ago, a high school friend of mine complained to me that his friend was in the bathing industry and earned 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a month, and when he was almost 30 years old, he was still a salary lawyer with an annual salary of less than 200,000 yuan.
When I heard this, I was actually very sad because I had such an experience in the past. Lawyers are not an industry that makes money quickly, especially in the early 3 to 8 years of practice. These days were very difficult because Lawyers attach great importance to qualifications and experience, and it is very difficult for young lawyers to break through pressure. In comparison, doing business and working as an programmer, can earn significantly higher income than lawyers. This has to make the numerous lawyers struggling on the survival line constantly give up.
1. The lawyer industry needs to settle for a long time, but it is very worrying
The lawyer industry needs to spend a lot of time learning professional knowledge and accumulating professional experience. This is something that most industries do not need, or more than most industries require, It's much higher. It can be seen that the legal profession is not an industry that is proportional to the input and output. You may have invested a lot of energy and knowledge, but because you do not have the resources and connections, you are still far from other lawyers.
The lawyer industry is an industry that values qualifications very much. It is said that the older lawyers become, the more popular they are. Although this sentence is not completely correct, it also reflects a common impression and opinion of the legal industry in society. The older the lawyers are, the more they give people The feeling is that the richer the experience, the more ideas, and the richer the social experience (although it is not necessarily the case), but the difference is like a mountain. Under the shackles of this inherent concept, young lawyers are crushed to death by the elderly lawyers Dead. The legal profession was rated by a lawyer some time ago, which is actually a major adverse event for young lawyers.
worry a lot. An independent lawyer is responsible for all aspects such as R&D, marketing, after-sales service, etc., and this lawyer needs to worry about all aspects. In this way, the lawyer has to spend a lot of effort.
In short, the output and investment ratio of the lawyer industry is very low.
2. Temptations of other industries
In this era of information flooding and people generally sell anxiety, news about making money can be said to be everywhere. Today, Zhang San earns 80,000 yuan in real estate, and tomorrow Li Si will earn one million yuan in Douyin. The king of the acquired world will earn one year. The second test of writing villa depends on the sea...
and what about the lawyer? I still have a meager salary every day, especially young lawyers working hard in first-tier cities. When I see these news, I actually find it difficult to balance it in my heart? After more than 20 years of hard study, countless days and nights of memorization and exams, they are ultimately not as good as those junior college students or even junior high school students. In addition, seeing that others make money so easily, they have to work overtime every day. Seeing the increasingly thin hair, many lawyers start to change careers and seek other careers. This is the real phenomenon and the real status quo.
3. If there is constant, everything will be accomplished.
There is only one time in life. It is very costly to choose one industry and then choose other industries, especially technical industries, such as law, doctors or other technical workers.
What is the most taboo in life? The most taboo thing is to be half-hearted. It is the same as working in a doctor. You should not always look at money. If you always want to make quick money, it is recommended not to work in a doctor or a legal industry, because they cannot make quick money. If you want to make quick money, you can go to sales, stock trading or finance industries.
In the legal industry, to achieve inner balance, we must have a belief in our hearts, that is, to make ourselves a scholar and a practitioner who solves the sufferings in the world. In order to distinguish yourself from an insurer, lawyers must learn to create value. How to create value? It is to produce knowledge and opinions, and output correct values and legal knowledge.
Becoming a practitioner who overcomes all the troubles in the world means having their own superb professional knowledge. Nowadays, many lawyers are half-baked, why do they become half-baked? Because studying law or taking judicial examinations is simply to make money as a lawyer, the goal is to make money, and everything is to look at money, without a belief, a belief that can save the world and solve the sufferings of the world. Without this belief, their goal every day is to make money. As long as they can put other people's money into their own pockets, everything will be fine! Goals achieved.
If you have constant, you will accomplish everything. The biggest taboo for those who do things is to be half-hearted. This will not only lead to a hammer and a hammer, but also to not accumulate anything, but also cause you to miss many opportunities. So sometimes we have to say that too many choices are a bad thing. If there is no choice, it will help everyone. Throughout history, many people have achieved something without choice.
So, the last sentence of this article is to end with one sentence: the road is always made, not selected.
