I would be curious to know where the pessimism begins for most attorneys. I think that law students tend to be a very optimistic group of people. 1Ls are told that only 10% of people will be at the top of the class by the end of the year. Anything else is statistically impossible when there's a curve. Yet, most, if not all law students think that they will be in the top 10% of their respective classes. Even after 1L, many law students remain very optimistic about their future prospects. At what point does the pessimism and complacency set in? With that said, I appreciate the call to optimism, but I think we should take a balanced approach. Sometimes, the place you work/your co-workers are simply miserable and the best thing to do is leave. What if you are working in an environment where 5 of your 6 co-workers leave in the span of 3 years? Your new boss has less experience than you do but is politically connected, and although you get a raise, your job consists of covering your boss's shortcomings? It's not always the case but sometimes you just have to "know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em." This is an interesting concept.
