Don't laugh at me!
So, I know that I've been complaining a lot about school for the last couple of weeks on here (just like everyone else), but I've been thinking recently.... and I have come to a rather disturbing thought. What if I went to law school? I know it sounds ridiculous because why the hell would I want to put myself through 3 more years of school when I already hate it so much, but seriously think about it. I don't like business, at least, at don't think I'm ultimately suited for Finance. There are a thousand and one more people who are smarter, better, and way more motivated in this field than I will ever be. But I can't really go back and undo the last four years of my life. So, I was kind of thinking about my options and I absolutely hate most of my classes except for my business law class that I'm taking this semester. I hardly even had to work at it and I'm pretty sure that I aced it.... and I loved doing it. As dry as the material was, I was always really interested in what was going on. When I stopped to think about it, I kind of realized that a lot of the skills and qualities that I pride myself on (e.g. awesome memorization skills, attention to detail, great debate skills) lend themselves toward the legal profession. So, I started really thinking and I'm certainly not sure that this is what I want to do, but what if? As an attorney, I'm pretty fucking sure that I would never be wanting for a job, I would have an amazing life skill that would be really beneficial, and I would be getting paid pretty damn well for it too. But its 3 more YEARS of school and that's if I do well on LSAT and get into a law school in the first place. God, why do I do these things to myself? I definitely need to think on it way more (like find out what type of lawyer I would want to be, what the job market is like, maybe do a job shadow or something like that to figure out what its really like, etc), but I kind of wanted to put it out there to see what you guys think. Would I make a good lawyer? Am I just being delusional? Is the work going to be too hard for me? Ugh. I wish life was soooo much easier.
