whoa.
ok. i've wanted to be a lawyer ever since the 4th grade. weird right? i bet i didn't even know what a lawyer really did but i probably didn't care because i knew that's what i wanted to do. my ENTIRE family already KNOWS not thinks but KNOWS i'm going to be the next lawyer in the family. it's been known ever since i was 10 or however old 4th graders usually are. it doesn't matter anyway because i grew to love the practice of law as well as grew to love learning about it. however, i also picked up an extreme love for politics along the way. naturally, my major of political science and minor of law and justice with a concentration of legal studies seems to fit perfectly. so here i am, it's summer 2008 and i'm about to start my junior year at rider in september............and i find myself not sure if this is what i really want to do. being a lawyer that is. wtf. seriously...wtf. so what's the alternative you ask? well...for me the perfect job would be working for cnn as a political analyst or reporting the news on cnn. i LOVE LOVE LOVE politics...something that you all probably already know. to work on cnn or anything except fox news would be amazing. my job would be to talk about politics. all day, everyday. this is something that has always been in the back of my mind. i think it's because i watch cnn more than the average teenager does. there's always a but and here it is...well here are a few buts actually:
- i'd either have to change my minor from law and justice to some sort of communication minor (this means more classes...at least 7 more)
- i could double minor (even more classes and i'm nervous i won't graduate on time)
- im not sure how my dad will feel about this but if this is something that i end up really wanting to do he'll have to deal with it (my moms cool with it already)
ok here's the big but
- THE OTHER PART OF ME STILL WANTS TO PURSUE A CAREER AS A LAWYER. i dunno what to do! i feel like time is running out...i have 2 more years left at rider. seems like a lot right? but it goes by fast. ahhhhh. ok what i think i need to do is talk to my absolutely brilliant advisor dr. kornberg. the man loves me and the man is a genius. he'd be able to definitely help me out in making this decision. =/
