1 Burning Question, 1 Burning Answer

Someone please tell me why, in about half of all the chick-lit books ever written, the heroine is a lawyer. A lawyer who totally hates being a lawyer. Who ends up quitting halfway through the book to ride off into the sunset doing just about anything else, whether that's walking dogs or being a maid or any of a million other things as long as, dear God, it's not law. What is that all about?

(Yeah, yeah, I realize that probably about half of the authors WERE lawyers who "escaped" by writing these books, or at least have friends toiling away in hellhole law firms. But still. It's annoying. I wish they'd knock it off.)

That is all.

Oh, the bar exam? Yeah, I'm gonna fail.
