The doc review job is s**t. You could be working for one week and
get the Axe. A temp job is just that - temporary. The recruiter is,
as has been stated, likely overstating the pay, the duration, or
both.

It leads to nothing.

Forget it.

As far as teaching, you could do worse. Who gives a c**p about some
snot-nosed students? Not our educational system. Nor should you.
Take the paycheck and adopt a "I could care less" mentality in your
mind.

The goal is to get a paycheck and meet minimum requirements.
They're not paying you to be Superman. Think of the students as
little law clients. Most are worthless.

Let the license go. It's money wasted for nothing. And cut ties
with the field of law, which hasn't gotten you anything except
frustration and poverty.
