Tabling a legal career

The ABA recently picked up a story about a third-year law student who has decided to pursue professional poker rather than the practice of law:

[Pace University law student Jeffery] Papola has won more than $1 million this year and may be reconsidering his career choice.

“I’m not exactly sure what I want to do with it (a law degree),” Papola said. “I have learned a lot of things (in school), but as far as practicing law, I do not see myself being able to do that, because I really do not like the 9 to 5 thing. That’s one reason I was so drawn to poker.

Lawyers: -1.  Sharks:  no change.
