So what would you all say if I told you I, in a fit of panic about the future, have decided that maybe I should convince myself to go to law school and become a lawyer
( Read more... )
If it's any help at all...I've had the same fit of panic and came to the same decision.
But I'm a lazy ass and don't know if I'd actually go through with the entire law school thing. Don't know how I feel about being a poor student for even longer, but yeah, kinda at a similar impasse still. >>
You're certainly bright, curious and hard-working enough. I applied and was accepted to law school but didn't go. I really don't regret the decision although I probably should have had a better back-up plan. I eventually ended up working as a paralegal because I enjoyed law but didn't really want all the debt and long hours and stress of a lawyer. Of course, there are financial drawbacks to that. But there were a lot of advantages when if came to raising children.
sldkfjsdf uh. idk I could see this happening, but like.... what kind of law would you practice... there are like 290039094 kinds. also there are pre-reqs? AND THE LSAT gosh. slkjf uh. slkjf I guess my advice is to do some research! Make sure it's feasible and not soul crushing? Look for internships in a law firm this summer... i can ask around about what law schools like, if like. hannah's applying or at least making sure she can apply if she feels like it later on, so i have an in skjf.

Dear Ellen, I think law is a very interesting career path, but I think you would enjoy many other fields a lot more. Do you really want to sit at a desk all day reviewing dense documents or preparing for trials and yelling in court and making friends with convicted people and possibly angering them when you win/lose (depending which side you are working for).
I can see a lot of people we know moving into a field like that, but I think you, in particular, would prefer something where you could be more creative and possibly employ your mad Japanese skills. That's not to say you shouldn't be a lawyer. I'm sure whatever company Naruto is made under needs lawyers and whatnot to represent them, etc etc and you would squeal at that.
I think you should move to Japan and teach English and on the side write books under a crazy pen name. Oh and especially if said books are really trashy and filled with buttsecks.
