As you know, I closed my law office, and have decided to
beomce a teacher. I'm almost done with the process and
expect to receive job offers from schools.

I had also decided to go inactive (law license), not pay
any more bar dues, and turn in my bar card.

Suddenly, I get a call about a long-term document review
job paying $35/hr. The recruiter says it will be 1-2
years long with some overtime, that I could make over $70k
a year. When I asked her if I must keep my law license
active, she says I must keep it active for this job.
Teaching jobs pay about $40k/year.

1) Do you think a doc review job is reliable enough that
I can count on 1-2 years of income at $70k/year+?
2) Do you think doc review jobs really require active law
license? I thought even fresh grads without law licenses
worked on those gigs ...

Keeping my license active will require about $500 I need
to pay very soon. I wonder if this doc gig is worth that
money and foregoing teaching position. If I go inactive I
just need to pay $50.
