  "account": "Liz East, a high-earning criminal law attorney, has decided to leave her lucrative career for a more low-key existence as a dog-walker. Reportedly, she now earns around ₹50,000 a day working as a dog-walker and boarding specialist. East's decision to leave her high-pressure job came after comparing her husband's passion for his own business to her own dissatisfaction with her career. She now runs four group walks a day, caring for 20 to 30 dogs and earns around 300 to 400 pounds per day. Despite some people's judgment, East maintains that she now earns more than she did as a lawyer and enjoys her new job.",
  "summary": "Liz East spent four years in criminal defence law, and most days ended the same way: exhausted, drained, and wondering if this was really her life. She quit — and found something unexpected on the other side.",

  "editors_take": "This career switch shows that lucrative professional jobs can be traded for unconventional ones, with East apparently earning more and finding greater satisfaction as a dog-walker than she did as a lawyer.",
