My guess is that he lacks the work ethic.

I'm sure he can rationalize it until the cows come home (that's what lawyers do, anyhow). But something tells me he's realized, even if he hasn't fully admitted it to himself, that he does not relish the prospect of a high-stress, high-workload career.

I had Mankiw's textbook a few years ago. He's a good writer.

I just don't have that desire to practice law. I think the law is pretty cool but I feel like I'd be the guy who goes to law school and then never sets foot in a court room or even an attorney's office (e.g., most politicians). That seems like a huge waste of time and money to me. I'd be better off with an MBA or an MPA I think.

perhaps a degree in home economics would interest you?
