Disadvantages of being a lawyer

According to the nature of work, the disadvantages of being a lawyer can be divided into full-time lawyers and part-time lawyers. You may not have much contact with lawyers in your life, so you don't know the profession of lawyers. The following are the disadvantages of being a lawyer.

Disadvantages of being a lawyer 1 Risk. If you don't make money, your life may be gone.

Counselor, this is about other people's lives. Do you think the risk is great? It is common to be framed and retaliated.

According to my incomplete professional statistics of lawyers, Yi * * was threatened by the underworld five times, besieged by the other side three times, and cut by the other side with a knife 1 time (that person went to cut my client and I went to help, so I got angry).

Not long ago, a female lawyer in Guangzhou was threatened by a client with a knife in the office and almost went wrong; In June this year, a lawyer in Hubei was rushed to the office directly by the client and killed!

I feel stressed and tired easily.

The case is not in hand and anxiety is white; Insomnia becomes a dog as soon as the case comes to hand. Who said that? I just made it up! In this line of work, overtime is common.

In addition, the case is well done, and I'm worried that the client will cheat and won't get the money. If the case is not handled well, I'm worried that the client will find trouble. I also saw all kinds of disputes and contradictions in the world! Listen to the endless suffering in the world! The point is, nobody understands!

In 20 17 years, 14 lawyers were exhausted! 20 18, so far, there are 13 lawyers who are exhausted. This line of work is not the work of normal people!

The iteration of law updating is too fast, which is exhausting.

It's incredible that China's laws are updated rapidly and society is changing rapidly. If nothing else, last month, more than a dozen laws were revised.

Nowadays, popular science knowledge is paid, and the money is not much. It seems that the tuition fee has been paid a lot! However, there is no way, and backwardness will be eliminated.

There are also routines of parties, routines of opposing lawyers, and routines of life everywhere. There are routines every day, but they are newer than any one!

Lonely, friendless

Busy as a dog, friends ask you out again and again, but you are not available; Friends of friends call you, but you clamor for consulting fees; Gradually, friends say that you are not enough friends, and you say that you are doing it for your career.

And the result? You are surrounded by clients. Who should lawyers worry about first? It's my own client Modern people's interest view has no right and wrong, no defense, be careful to be sold, and help him count the money.

Where are the friends? At midnight, lawyers will miss the past so much!

The entry threshold is too high.

I won't talk about the college entrance examination, but when I get to the law department, I have to remember the case after memorizing the code, which is exhausting. Graduated from college, completely uncompetitive; It's been three years since I studied hard for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Then, I found that there was still a judicial exam, and it was difficult to get into the sky (I heard that one year 15W people abandoned the exam); I finally passed the exam. I went there and found that all the students in the exam were P's, so I have to start again after work!

Then, practice for a year! I worked as an assistant for another two or three years, and finally left school, only to find that I was almost 30! 30 years old is not terrible, but 30 years old is bald and poor!

I didn't earn any money, but my hair fell out.

I don't remember reading a sentence somewhere: to be a qualified legal person, you usually have to go through "three things"-memorizing more, writing more and losing more hair!

Even Father Ma said: Good lawyer, 8 of 10 are bald. In the "White Paper on Saving the Fun of Hair Loss" released by Ali before: among consumers who buy various hair transplant, hair growth and hair care products on the Ali platform, the post-80 s and post-90 s population accounts for as high as 75%!

The lawyer's "health secret" is to run business, meet clients, hold court sessions, travel+stay up late and get up early. Tens of thousands of immortal brain cells can't sleep today, and I don't think it's normal to have endocrine disorders.

Covered in occupational diseases.

Baldness is nothing, because lawyers work at their desks for a long time, sorting out cases and writing materials, and they sit 90% of the time! Cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar disc herniation and other occupational diseases. Not immune.

Plus entertainment, overwork, hypertension, fatigue and obesity, myocarditis and so on. , many! You said you wanted to exercise? 99% of my free time is spent trying to find customers. 1% is to see if I can find someone, so I don't have time to exercise!

Poor thing! Poor thing! Poor thing!

Who says lawyers make more money? No data, no harm!

Some time ago, the Shenzhen Lawyers Association published a sad data: over 30% of lawyers earn less than 6.5438+10,000! Some lawyers earn less than the average salary in Shenzhen! Only 1% of young lawyers earn the average income of lawyers in Shenzhen!

Where is the 28th opening ceremony? This is obviously 19. I doubt whether this income is worth the cost of getting that practice license. After all, he is on TV and the lawyer is in reality. No wonder there is a big fire these days: who wants to be a lawyer these days, not because they are poor!

single

On the question of being single, my lawyer friend is like this: Being single is not terrible, what is terrible is being single and bald, and what is even more terrible is being single and bald (the current situation of a young male lawyer)! 10 lawyer, 9 orders.

What about female lawyers? Generally speaking, female lawyers are more likely to find boyfriends, but according to statistics, the divorce rate of female lawyers is as high as the top three in the country!

The rigorous personality of career development makes the romantic index of female lawyers plummet. At the same time, when I first got married, I usually didn't achieve much. The longer the time, the greater the gap between partners, the unsynchronized economy, the unsynchronized thoughts and the failure of marriage!

However, those friends who are anxiously waiting for the result, don't worry, anyway, this is just a choice. If you really love, what does it matter if you wait a long time and have many shortcomings?

You see, falling in love with 10 is a big disadvantage, but everyone wants to fall in love. Once you meet someone you really like, no matter how many shortcomings you have, your eyes are full of love!

This is love and this is passion! Passion and love are nothing at present!

Disadvantages of being a lawyer 2. Career planning of lawyers

There are many rumors about the profession of lawyer, especially about entering the profession. Most of them think it is difficult and hard, and some people are pessimistic. The source of the case is hard to find, which leads many newcomers to hesitate and hesitate before making up their minds, fearing that they will not see one thing or another. Even if some newcomers are determined to enter this industry, they are still confused, don't know how to start, and are on tenterhooks every day, for fear that it will be difficult for them to stick to it, or that their road will get narrower and narrower.

In addition, some experienced people exaggerate the hardships of the road, and the competent departments and trade associations lack the necessary guidance and training, which makes the new people very nervous and hesitant. I think there may be some misunderstanding here.

1) The difference between passing the judicial examination and being a lawyer. Many newcomers think that everything will be fine if they pass the judicial examination, and of course they will become lawyers. I think the bar for lawyers in China is very low. You can enter this industry by passing the exam, even like me, you don't need to graduate from law. Therefore, with the pursuit of the profession of lawyer, many people bet on the exam, thinking that they can become lawyers once they pass the exam.

It's a bit like the children in our countryside before. They think that you can get enough food and clothing for a lifetime by going to college, entering the safe and jumping out of the farm gate. So many people relax after entering the university. They never thought that there would be laid-off workers in the future, and they would go back to the past overnight. Passing the departmental examination is only a threshold, and there is still a long way to go to become a lawyer. Newcomers should never think that passing the exam is a lawyer, nor should they have too high expectations;

2) What exactly does a lawyer do? Many people simply don't know the scope of a lawyer's work. Usually people understand that lawyers are litigation, which is to help others solve problems. There are also many newcomers who know about litigation and non-litigation, but many people don't know what non-litigation means. They only know that non-litigation is very profitable, and famous successful lawyers do non-litigation, and non-litigation fees account for a large proportion of the fees of the whole lawyer industry.

Before I started my career as a lawyer, I positioned myself prematurely, hoping to be a barrister without litigation. The incomprehension and one-sided superstition of lawyers' work scope lead to many newcomers' hesitation and anxiety, and they have no work goals;

3) How high is the lawyer's income? It is widely said that lawyers have money, but no one can tell exactly how much money lawyers have and how much money they earn every month. However, the rumored high income of lawyers has attracted many newcomers in the industry, so everyone aims to exceed the income standard of ordinary industries and follow the example of famous lawyers. In some people's eyes, lawyers have become synonymous with having a house and a car to make money every day;

4) How high is the social status of lawyers? For many years, people think that lawyers have high social status, knowledge and culture and can be respected by all walks of life. The social status of lawyers is influenced by some objective factors, especially the social status of film and television works and foreign lawyers.

Lawyers from foreign countries, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have a high social status. Most people's impression of lawyers comes from foreign and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan film and television works. I don't think any domestic film and television works describing lawyers' work and life are successful and objective, because the actors, directors and their consultants don't know anything about lawyers' work in China. The social status of domestic lawyers is not as high as others think, but we can win the respect of others through our own efforts.

5) Is the lawyer's life very chic? I've seen Amanda's TV series. A young lawyer can wander around Xinjiang for a month without telling anyone, and his cell phone is turned off. Others are female lawyers played by Cao Ying, who are either clubbing or drinking coffee all day. That's smart enough, but only in movies and TV. I doubt whether such a screenwriter knows a real lawyer. A lawyer is just a practitioner, with a special practice and hard work. It's all creative work, not just going to bars to drink and travel. Handsome can be, but not this chic.

So I think newcomers must plan their new careers when they enter the industry. In fact, the same is true of other industries. Before planning your career, you must have a clear understanding of this industry and not go into misunderstanding.

Newcomers must be modest and prudent after entering the business. A lot of things you learned in the exam are not practical, but they can be used as the basis for you to enter the business. "I think it's an armchair strategist. I don't know if it should be done." Lawyer's business is a very practical work. You can only qualify if you pass the exam. You need to start from scratch. It's kind of like going to college. When I first entered college, I looked at the image performance of freshmen, which was far from the imagined college students. Only after a period of study and life in college practice can college students show their vitality and image. At this point, the college entrance examination is like the college entrance examination.

The scope of lawyer's business is too wide for me to define now. In addition to litigation, it also includes many non-litigation, and many non-litigation contents are no different from those of other companies. For example, some lawyers can earn tens of millions in bidding for construction projects. Many other companies are also doing bidding business, and even some non-lawyer salesmen are doing better. There are also some law firms that buy and sell houses, just like intermediary companies.

In my opinion, the understanding of lawyer's business scope should start from practice and start from scratch. According to your pursuit of the lawyer profession, understand its scope and choose in the practice process. Only by understanding the reality of lawyers' work can we plan our work and study well.

Newcomers should also have a clear understanding of lawyers' income and social status. As I said before, the legal profession is not a very profitable industry. In this society, the overall income of lawyers looks good for two reasons. First, the number of lawyers is small, and the overall quality and education are undoubtedly very high in society. It is normal for natural individuals to have better abilities and higher incomes. Second, as a special industry, lawyers are often exposed by all walks of life and easily known by all walks of life, and the masses will give lawyers a higher position in their minds.

So everyone thinks that the income of lawyers is very high, or it should be relatively high. As a newcomer, you can't be influenced by outside knowledge. You should proceed from reality and have a clear understanding of this problem. Generally speaking, lawyers who earn more than 1 10,000 a year do not make much money. Although it is impossible to make actual statistics, I think it should not exceed 10%. Among these high-paid lawyers, many people do not necessarily earn money by practicing law. Maybe they did some industries in the process of becoming lawyers, or they bought a lot of real estate or made many other investments after digging the first bucket of gold.

Very difficult, very few people have no worries about food and clothing. It should be below 10%, and most of them are new lawyers. Because if it continues to be so difficult, it is very likely that you will change careers and stop being a lawyer after a while. No one wants to keep doing this so hard. The remaining 80% is the mainstream of our industry. Among them, there are higher income groups with relatively stable income, and their income is generally better than that of the working class. There are still some people whose income is not very stable. On average, it's just salary. Sometimes, every meal is stressful.

But they will be very hopeful, and maybe they will soon get out of the predicament and enter a well-off or even better state. After all, lawyers have a big stage and many opportunities. As long as you work hard, there will be great hope. Who knows when you will make a case and earn tens of thousands of dollars? This is also a place to support many colleagues.

In addition, the lawyer's income is gross income, which is very expensive. Transportation expenses, communication expenses, labor insurance, etc. You have to spend it from your income, but there may not be much left. For other wage earners, many expenses will not be generated, and wage income is net income. There is a difference between gross income and net income. But the actual income of lawyers is not as pessimistic as many people say, provided that you have to do it independently.

Imagine that ordinary civil cases can generally charge more than 2,000 yuan in second-and third-tier cities in the Mainland. If you only do two cases a month, can you solve the problem of life? Moreover, many newcomers exchange the salary of assistants, which is naturally very low and it is difficult to maintain their own lives. Therefore, new people should not expect too much from their income, but they should not be pessimistic. The key is that you should enter the business as soon as possible. As long as you enter this industry, the income of this industry is not low.

In recent years, the media reports and the self-explosion of many peers have given the outside world a new understanding of the lawyer industry, rather than a general optimism. When chatting, many people will say that the competition among lawyers is fierce now, and many lawyers have no money, which is not as good as expected. They even gloat at at jokes and deliberately belittle lawyers.

In fact, what is easy to make money? The boss of a private enterprise makes a lot of money, and he will never pay less and never take risks. Civil servants, including leading cadres, will not earn ill-gotten gains through crooked ways, nor will they be more than us. The same is true of other industries, where only ill-gotten gains are easy to come by. If we act in full accordance with the law, the lawyer industry will make a lot of money.

All along, I think that social status is nothing, invisible and intangible, and lawyers can be elegant and just like migrant workers. The social status of lawyers is different from other professions. The status of civil servants of administrative organs and some special units comes from the authorization of the state and the legacy of feudal dynasties, or from their monopoly position. The status of many other industries comes from their high income.

However, the status of lawyers comes from their own efforts and integrity, and they do not have the political status entrusted by the state, nor do they rely on economic status to improve their status. If you are a lawyer, no one will look down on you at any party or group. You may be looked down upon and scolded by a department-level civil servant, but you may also be respected by a department-level leader. The boss of a consulting unit has been telling me not to be a lawyer. Come and help me, you have improved your treatment.

I said, every time I come to you as a legal adviser, you will greet me with a smile and make me tea in person. I am free, but if I work for you, can I still enjoy this treatment? He smiled. In any case, it is enough to get respect and recognition from others through your own efforts and dedication.

The life of a lawyer is definitely not something that a newcomer can sum up in one sentence. In addition to the well-known pressure to enter the industry, there is also the pressure to learn and improve their own abilities. The same is true for lawyers who have already entered the profession. Lawyers have too much to learn, so they may be needed where there are people. Our business scope covers all aspects of society. So this is also different from judges and prosecutors.

They only need to handle cases in a certain field, but lawyers know everything. Besides pure legal knowledge, we also need rich social knowledge. The abilities I mentioned in several aspects are not completely summarized. Therefore, as long as you want to be a real lawyer, you need to keep learning and accumulating, and there is no end. Relaxation is ok, but not like in film and television works. More hardships come from silent cultivation.

Disadvantages of being a lawyer 3 What is the most respectable occupation? According to the survey, lawyers rank first.

According to a professional survey released by Zhaopin yesterday, lawyers, bank employees and designers are recognized as the three most respected professions. Among more than 5,000 interviewees, 45.3% think that lawyers or legal workers are the best jobs in their minds, while 39.7% and 38.6% professionals voted for financial practitioners and creative designers. In contrast, there are not many professionals who think that marketing, procurement trade, advertising exhibition and other industries are very beautiful.

The survey shows that high social status is the main condition to judge whether a career is beautiful or not. 30. 1% of the respondents equate high social status with decent jobs, while 24.6% and 2 1.6% of the respondents attribute the reasons for decent jobs to high income or regular knowledge acquisition.

However, decent jobs come at a price. The high demand for these positions will make people feel depressed and confused. They must adhere to "professionalism" and it is difficult to show their life-oriented side. In the survey, rational handling of interpersonal relationships, professional thinking, orderly communication with people, and professional dressing are considered to be the four most important aspects to reflect professional quality. Many employees said helplessly that if they want to maintain their professional image, they can't show too much personality.

The data shows that only 37. 1% of the respondents are willing to be "double-faced", that is, they are completely professional in the workplace and do not expose their personality; Nearly half of the employees surveyed want to be more natural and personalized in the workplace, and can't stand the state of "two-faced". There are also some employees who choose occasions to show their personality, with 15.4% and 25.2% respectively saying that they can only show their true self during lunch break or when they are with good colleagues. Only 1 1.9% employees are willing to challenge workplace rules and show their personality at any time.
