That's what attorney #2 said...it asks me to agree to not work for a competitor or become a competitor for 12 months, but it doesn't list a geographical region, so it would never hold up in court. He said that this is basically like asking me to learn a new vocation (which they are not adequately compensating me for) or go on welfare and become a ward of the state for the next 12 months.

The agreement is too broad in scope. It does not give you a
mile range limit on where you can work, therefore it is most likely unenforceable. Some states like Arizona have limited these contracts with regard to the medical profession, i.e., a case with a physician with a noncompete clause. They said the area was too broad and the MD could not make a living, therefore was too restrictive. Check out information in what state you are, but from what I see, it would be hard to enforce this contract.
