(+) Yeah! (+)

Would you rather be a pro baseball player or hot shot attorney at law?

Baseball player makes more c

Depends how you define hot shot attorney. Senior partners in a major firm can take home millions a year and have a much longer career than most baseball players.

Pro Baseball Player. More interesting. I have no interest in being an attorney.

Depends. Being a pro baseball player means you get some pay to play. If i was guaranteed MLB I'd go for that. I would not pick it if i have a minor league salary.

I mean... does picking either of those things mean I'm instantly good at them and not like I am now?

Baseball player

Attorney. I've never been a fan of baseball. And it's a lot of work physically...

i could never be a defense attorney. i wouldn't want to defend someone i know is guilty

For a much shorter period of time, so it kind of balances out.

Also, most attorneys don't wind up having major joint pain or other physical problems later in life.

Hmm would I rather play sports for a living or do a job thats boring as fuck

tough choice

---

Baseball player. I don't like the idea of defeding bad people.

---

Attorney sounds interesting, doesnt have to be hotshot. Id be glad to work in a damp office and figure shit out behind the scenes.

---

Im not much into hobbies that require that amount of physical exertion, so Ill go with attorney.

---

If circus clown was an option, I'd go with that.

---

Baseball would be more exciting life. And baseball is great cause that's the least demanding major sport and you can make boatloads off it. Downside is the season length, plaything like everyday but like i said, you mostly stand around playing baseball. Get to visit all of the country and build camaraderie with your teammate.s

I'd rather be the attorney. I wouldn't want to deal with all the fans and media.

You can be an attorney and never set foot in a courtroom.

---

I can sit on the bench of a MLB team and get paid $563,500 to practice and workout daily. I'll never get famous and never have to deal with fans/media while still getting rich.

---

I think I'd rather be Ron Kuby than any baseball player I can think of.

---

I wanna be the next Johnnie Cochran

---

Baseball player would be more exciting, but require a ton of hard work, training, etc.

Attorney would be pretty boring. Long nights, paperwork, constant phone calls, etc.

Realistically, I am more suited to being an attorney, but I'd probably prefer being a baseball player if I had to choose between the two.

Hot Shot Lawyer.....

A pro-Baseball player lives on borrowed time. Sure, he'll get millions for his wicked RBI stats. But sooner or later age kicks in and his stats wouldn't be worth much.

Being a lawyer is all brains. And if you're good at what you do, you'd make $300-$500 per hour. And depending on what branch of the law you work and the company you represent, you'd make retainers well over the half-million mark.

So the choice is a million now as a baseball player with the fear of blowing out your shoulder....or millionS during the course of a long and prosperous career.

---

Never liked baseball much so attorney the easy pick for me.

---

Baseball obviously. Being an attorney would be fucking boring and stressful.

Good point. I change my vote to this. I hadn't thought about just being a bench warmer collecting a fat check.

I'd rather be unemployed than have to be an attorney. Being a pro basketball player wouldn't be too bad and you can retire after a couple years if you don't mind living modestly.

Yeah but making bank young and making good investments will add up to more quicker, too bad a lot of pro athletes don't understand this

I feel like the hard work doesn't seem so hard if you can see the future and you know you end up being pro

---

Attorney. Id sue everybody.

Well with being a lawyer, you could start a private practice and take on as many clients as you want. Choose your own hours, see a few people then take the rest of the week off, if you're willing to live on whatever you choose to make.

Yeah but having to do lawyer work even once sounds like a nightmare and a half. I helped my grandfather out sometimes as a kid who was partner in a firm in atlanta and none of that looked anything less than miserable.
