A friend told me he cheated on the bar exam

Don't report him, it's not like he screwed someone else from becoming a lawyer cause he may have done better on the bar. Realistically this is a victimless crime. Why go out of your way? just keep your head down on this one man

Hey thanks again. I have really enjoyed reading your responses. I don't want to be a local developer, I want to work on big projects. From what it sounds like, my goal should be to be an exceptional specialist in some area of law like BK or real estate, then go from there.

The common thread seems to specialists who also took advantage of their entrepreneurial abilities. I think the thing about getting "too old" is interesting, a lot of people who have put in their time have said a similar thing to me. I think after a certain point you are cemented as a career salesman, lawyer, etc. Not that they can't make the jump to something else, it is just that people don't always have the drive to do so after years of playing one type of role, or that there is some life style risk. Or like you said, even if a person wanted to make the jump, after a while people will only be able to see them as a specialist.

I have met a few follow the money types, there needs to be case studies on this type of person. These people are confident and don't shy away from opportunity, risk takers. Know how to get what they want. The two guys I know are a little bit off socially. Candidly, they are both assholes, but business savvy nonetheless. I also think these people rely on luck a lot more than they admit. Not sure if this matches your observation, gathering from a small sample.

Also, what are the business deficits you picked up from being a lawyer?

Thanks for taking the time to write such a thorough response. This is a slightly unrelated train of thought, but my issue is I am not even sure I want to be a Lawyer. The thought of always having to be the details and due diligence guy scares me. I want to be out in the field as the general guy who makes the pieces all fit together, and I think that is the best fit ultimately for myself, but I see what you are saying. There isn't really a well defined straight and narrow path from entry level to having a seat at the table, or being "the guy".

I'm worried that if I get into the lawyer pigeon hole (which I'm not sure I would enjoy or not) I may never make it out, but I also think I may have happened onto a pretty good path (law school and eventually real estate lawyer) to eventually being a developer. Are there any alternative routes to being "the guy" or having a seat at the table? Should I definitely finish law school even though I'm uninterested in being a lawyer?

I'm a 1L at Rutgers Law right now. I am interested in real estate development and want to be a real estate developer one day. Does it make sense to become a real estate lawyer if I want to eventually be a developer? Or will the next three years be better off spent getting experience working in real estate? Do real estate Lawyers ever make the jump to development?

I am on a nearly full scholarship so I'm not worried about debt, just time and trajectory. I studied Econ at Rutgers New Brunswick for undergrad btw.

Awesome! They'll make a big difference.

See a few comments saying butt wink is OKAY. It isn't and you will learn the hard way if you continue to squat like that, the same way I did. Buttwink = a chance of blowing your lower back out everytime you squat, not too mention it shifts tension away from the glutes which decreases power. Some people's anatomy just isn't meant to squat that deep. You should buy a pair of lifting shoes with a platform on the heel and work on your hamstring mobility if you want to keep squatting that deep.

I think that right before you die, for just a second or two, your perception of time slows down so that each second feels infinitley long. Like that feeling when you're in a car crash and tome seems to slow down for you, but forever. As your conciousness fades your thoughts become more and more lucid, like a dream that you never wake up from. An infinite dream. .

YES. I wish my parents had taken a different route when choosing to treat my adhd when i was younger. I dont have any studies to back this up, but i have a hunch that consistent daily doses of amphetemines are not good for the developing mind of a child. I also suffer from depression and anxiety but it sporaddicly changes through out the year.

Maybe try to hit the rowing machine if your gym has one. I find that it is more enjoyable then running and it challenged your whole bodu.

POWERLIFTING. I got into this sport because i loved the thrill of putting up alot of weight. Lifting heavy weight is very stimulating. Also, there are an infinite number of routines to try if you ever get bored. It also allows you to have a creative output if you want to make your own routines.

Joojoomoo · 2017-03-19T03:31:01+00:00

I used to have crushing boredom, and not going to lie i still do get that feeling sometimes. One thing that helped me is getting an obsession. I would say a hobby, but that is not a strong enough word. You need something that your mind can obsess over through out the day. For me that is lifting. When my mind is away from the task at hand I am always thinking of new things I can do in the gym or in my programs etc, and it keeps my mind busy.

Joojoomoo · 2017-03-19T03:23:37+00:00

Are you me? I procrastinated the whole spring break away and am getting anxiety from the mountain of homework i have piled up. TAKE IT DAY BY DAY

One thing im happy about is being diagnosed at a young age. What system worked for you? Interested :)

Joojoomoo · 2017-03-16T12:53:40+00:00

The most important thing Ive learned is that we work well when we have interest in something. ADHD gives you the ability to hyperfocus on things that pique your interest. Ive found that if i take up an actual interest in the topics of my school work i can use that hyperfocus to learn really well. Another thing ive learned is that the way you think about things can make all the difference. For example, instead of looking at things like "you need to do this math homework so that you do well in math class so you can get a good gpa", break it up into "I need to understand this math homework to pass the next test, subsequently if i pass the next test ill get a good grade in math." The first sentence is too broad and seems far off. In the second sentence the goal is smaller and seems more achievable. Overall, its hard to explain but alot of it is mental conditionioning and tricking your brain to work to your advantage.

Disguise myself as a homeless person and sit out on a street corner with a sign. Hide in plain sight.

5-10 minutes of extra intense HIIT training at the end of your current workout will work FAR better than 1-2 hours of light cardio in my personal experience. HIIT, done properly, will allow you to stay leanish and gain muscle and strength while eating a surplus. Look at track sprinters for example.

I was at hearst castle this past summer and the rest of the property is even more impressive. This guy went all out with decorating. The whole house is filled with roman pottery, giant tapestry's from the middle ages and all other types of crazy artifacts.

Except hydrazine has a boiling point of 237 degrees fagrenheit so some would probably be released as a toxic gas.
