Lawyer Alternative Careers

Feeling depressed about being an attorney? Trapped by law school debt into having to work at a firm that is siphoning off your life's blood through increasing billable hour requirements?

Why not try an alternative career? Like, say motivational speaker/sex therapist/performer. (Las Vegas Sun) The Sun article reports:

It’s a feel-good show with a twist. Strippers and magicians put on a lively performance that masks an underlying message of getting in touch with your inner
self.

“It’s about helping people feel better about themselves, finding their spiritual path,” says Meg Bertini, the former lawyer who is producing the show. “It’s about finding out how to think positively.

“To find your sexy concept is finding your inner confidence, your courage. I think you need that to be able to make the right decisions.” Sounds pretty dry, until you learn Bertini strips to help make the lesson palatable.

Why not? Almost every attorney I've ever met is a pervert. Then again, I live in Vegas, where everyone is a pervert by comparison to the Bible Belt.



Curious about the career trajectory that leads a lawyer to produce a spiritual strip club experience? Well, Meg Bertini a.k.a. "Madame Meg" received a "law degree from Emory University in Atlanta but didn’t practice law. She taught legal ethics, was a ghost writer for lawyers, headed a foundation, did legal recruiting and finally founded a publishing company, Dream Time Publishing." (Las Vegas Sun)
