Thoughts?

Would not recommend it? The law is hard profession to be solitary in. My dad kinda manages it by being into social security, but it still takes its toll.

What brings on this thought? Are you pondering suing the ponyassholes?

I would not recommend it either, really, but it's been a thought since sophomore year when my favorite philosophy teacher started prodding me towards it. Apparently it's one of few professions where a working knowledge of philosophy, English, and psychology can help going in ( ... )

There are some nice law schools out here. Is her husband a paralegal? That sounds like it would be a mostly research and writing-oriented job.

If you want, I can ask my dad about jobs in the law/law school recommendations. Though considering the conniption he had when I briefly flirted with going to law school, I think the first words out of his mouth will be "DON'T." XD;;

Paralegal! That's the one! Derp.

XD If he won't fly into a fit of NOOOOO, that would be very cool. I should be able to get in just about anywhere (in theory). This is also just something I'm pondering in a serious fashion for the first time ever. If you or anyone else in the world can tell me what else to do with my completely random majors and minors that isn't teaching, I will listen most eagerly!

Well, I think that Katie might have pretty much covered it, but- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? My friend is going to law school so that she can write political speeches for the poll-uh-tisch-uns. I have no idea why I spelled it like that, BUT IT'S ALRIGHT. But yeah, point being, I'm pretty sure that English-focused law school has some options. I know pretty much nothing about it, though.

Also, I did a bad thing and filled out, like, two prompts for Queer_fest; do they have a second round of claiming prompts anytime soon, do you know? If not, I'll probably ask Rhap.

Honestly, I want to own several cats, write, and do artsy things and never have to worry about being An Adult with A Job. With the law school thing... I don't know. I need to do something and it seems to be a something that would benefit society in some small way and not decimate my soul? I probably need better reasons.

Iiiii have no idea. I'm very new to this and have been consulting Rhap when I am confused.

Yeah, you should probably work out specifically what Going to Law School would help you achieve. As far as I know, owning cats does not require that.

To the Rhap! Awaaaaaaaay!
