Seton Hall Law
So I spent all day yesterday sitting in the lobby at Seton Hall Law school tabling for work. I came away only slightly more confused about my future than I was before I walked in, but it was enough to get me thinking.
I want to go back to school. This is nothing new. I've wanted to go back to school since my last semester at SMC. But my problem is that there are so many things that I'd like to go back to school for that I can't pick. That and timing is an issue. I'm getting married in like 10 1/2 months. I also need to buy a house (hang on, I'mg etting to that), figure out where we're going to live, get a job (part time if I go back to school) and otherwise figure out what the hell is going on.
Anyhow, so how does this relate to Seton Hall Law? Well, I talked to students all day long about law school and jobs and what not. A lot of them actually had no intention of becoming high profile trial lawyers. Most of them wanted to do other things, not necassarily requiring a law degree, but it being helpful. And I was thinking, hey, I could do that. Law school has always been one of the things I contemplated. Maybe I'll go take an LSAT and see how I do.
Now let's talk housing. No way no how are Lexi and I moving to New Jersey. It's just too damned expensive. And crowded. And a ton of other things. Anyhow, Lexi isn't too thrilled with her job as of late and we've pretty much come to the conclusion that unless they offer her a house and a shit load more money than they probably will, we're not sticking around. So we've discussed where we would like to go, and we came to the rather inevitable conclusion that we want to go back to Vermont. But not Burlington. We'd like to live in the mountains. So I've been investigating houses and land. And crap, for the amount of money it would take to buy a tiny house on a quarter acre of land in CT I can buy 10 acres and build a house in VT, which is actually what I'm considering doing. That, and if I play it right, I could probably buy a condo in Killington to rent out as well. I don't know. We have a lot to think about.
This whole "real life" thing has too many damned choices.
