I guess what im asking is, which of the practices do people consider to be "interesting", "fun", fast paced type of environment? I figure I will have a better time finding something that interests me. Litigation is a major interest of mine. Going to court etc.
Point being, I like to do stuff. I cant have my WHOLE job be based behind a desk. I realize i will spend a lot of time there, but i dont want to spend 24/7 there.
all advice welcome.

Re: Where is the action?
Being an ADA is a semi-major city. You will be in court almost everyday. No billable hours. That being said, you will also have to deal with a fairly high volume of cases, many of which will end up pleading out with the PD or defense lawyer.
FWIW: I think a lot of law students like to glamorize being in court, but it's not quite all they end up imaging. It's a lot of pre-trial, procedural boring stuff, so just because you're in court does not mean it will be fast-paced, but you will try some cases.

Re: Where is the action?
According to all the movies, the action's on Wall Street. Or in the military. Or doing other super-manly things that involve buying, selling, and/or shooting stuff.
