Oh, Me...
So, this is the "I'm having an emotional crisis because I don't know what to do with the rest of my life" entry :)
I've started the education classes. I'm reading the books. I'm going to the classrooms. And I can't shake this feeling in the pit of my stomach that this is *not* what I'm supposed to do for the rest of my life.
I made the pro/con list. Teaching's nice. Good Schedule. Kids are kinda nice. Crappy pay. A need to be patient, which I clearly do *not* have. But it's stable.
Law isn't. Tons of work. Paycheck that supports my need for Manolos. I get to argue for a living. (Hello!? Jackpot!) An extra 2 years of school on top of what I'm doing now. Stupidly difficult.
Can I really go to law school? Am I cut out to be a lawyer? Am I smart enough to handle the work and the tests and the lack of sleep?
What if I can't do it? What if I'm not good enough? Do I "settle" for being a teacher? I know I can do that. Do I take the chance that I might be unfufilled and stay with something solid and secure? Or do I take the leap and go after something *crazy* that might be the best thing I've ever done?
How am I supposed to know what to *do* with the *rest of my life* right this second?
HELP!
