Stress

Depends on which type of law you get involved with. Entertainment lawyers often focus on either transaction-based or litigation-based law. While the former works on drafting and negotiating contracts, the latter focuses on resolving disputes (arbitration), filing lawsuits, and arguing in court. We'll give you two guesses as to which category is more stressful.

In addition, no matter which type of entertainment law is your specialty, your clients will see you as their personal therapist, not just their attorney. That means you'll take on their personal stresses as your own. Not because you want to, but because they simply won't stop going on and on about how they only got into drugs because their good-for-nothing boyfriend pressured them. Yeah, like you don't hear that every morning, noon, and night (and in your sleep).
