Blog 1: Non-Commercial

I found a blog I consider one of my favorites while doing some career searching. I'm considering going to law school in the future and was doing research by looking up law-related blogs and blogs done by lawyers. The most interesting blog I found is called Anonymous Lawyer. It's basically the blog of a hiring partner who works at a big time firm. The postings are sarcastic and often stinging and the blog doesn't portray what one might consider 'the best side of the firm'. I particularly enjoy the postings where he basically says all the firms are the same and that the 'work here' speech each of them gives is bull. Life's not about fun, it's about work and making money and laughing at the expense of others. Not sure how I feel about the message, but at least it's straightforward. Kind of makes me nervous to hear what happens at a big firm considering I'm thinking about going to law school.

So what's the point of the blog? Could be a few things. Could be a bitter old lawyer venting because he hates his job and his life. Could be that he wants others to know about how miserable, evil, and yet amusing life as a lawyer can be. Could be that he is not even a lawyer and is making stuff up. I personally like the second option. Like I do in my personal blog, I think he's just letting people know what happens while he's at work and about the mindset of lawyers.
