Hi all. I’m in need of some work-related advice. I’m a 24M Law school graduate who’s been unemployed for the past 1.5 years due to mental health issues. I luckily don’t have any debt as I had full scholarships to university and law school, and have enough savings to sustain me for a few years.

Hi all. I’m in need of some work-related advice. I’m a 24M Law school graduate who’s been unemployed for the past 1.5 years due to mental health issues. I luckily don’t have any debt as I had full scholarships to university and law school, and have enough savings to sustain me for a few years. So, money isn’t a real issue for me, and I don’t plan on starting a family.

My mental health issues make it difficult to focus on everyday tasks. I also don’t have the energy to work as a lawyer anymore. I’ve been getting treatment but not much has improved. So, I was thinking that the ideal job for me would be one that would require low effort, not much thinking, and not much contact with other people as I have a bad case of social anxiety. A job that came to mind is being a night-shift security guard. What do you think of this job? And am I stupid to quit being a lawyer to become a security guard? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
