Second Star to the Right and Straight on 'Til Morning

When I was on vacation, I gained some perspective. That perspective told me in absolute clarity that I need to stop practicing law, or I will likely die of some stress-related illness in my 40s.

Since I came home, that perspective has been muddied. The people to whom I've talked about it have raised some valid concerns, specifically about how I intend to support myself. This confuses me because I don't know whether to accede to those concerns (concerns I admit I share) or hold fast to my belief that I need to get out of this line of work. Obviously, it would be much easier to do the latter if I knew of some other line of work I desperately wanted to be in.
