I'm freaking out. All I hear these days is attorneys complaining about long hours, pressure, and fear of losing their jobs. And recent graduates can't find jobs! Should I even bother finishing law school and incurring additional debt?

Thats scary! Law schools are pumping out attorneys at a rate greater than demand. Law schools operate like a business. They pack them in like sardines and empty their wallets.

Law school is a trap, and the only useful skill you learn is to practice law which is a grind. If you dont want to practice law anymore then you actually won't have many other options as your skill set really wont transfer well into other business sectors. So, you have all these law school grads with no transferable skills and no legal jobs.
