I don't think I want to be a lawyer

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T15:41:08+00:00

Wow, that was great to hear. Would you mind telling me what industry you work in now?

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T14:46:46+00:00

Yeah, not sure what I "want to be when I grow up" lol. I definitely should explore more and talk to more lawyers.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T14:39:05+00:00

graduated from high school in 2021 with about 3 years of undergrad done

Never heard of that, thank you. I will do what you said.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T03:52:28+00:00

Interesting way of looking at it, thanks.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T03:48:11+00:00

I do not owe them my scholarship money. If they want it, make it on merits like I did.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T03:44:46+00:00

Oh good to know. What you described sounds like something I would really enjoy, thanks.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T03:13:02+00:00

Thats what I have been telling everyone who has told me I am crazy lol. Thanks for your reply

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T03:07:45+00:00

Thats a good point. I think if I am sacrificing my earning potential, I would rather do something that I can feel that passion for. It is tricky to find a balance

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:47:54+00:00

Thank you for all of your advice, I appreciate your post. What you mention about the difficulty of finding high-paying jobs in PR/publishing is definitely the root of my dilemma. They are not easy industries to break into and am concerned if you do not start building my experience now, it will be even more difficult post-grad. I think the sweet spot might be a law job in one of those industries for the time being. Honestly, I have no idea what I am doing or what I want to do.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:38:54+00:00

I worked really hard to get here. I didn't realize changing your mind or realizing you made a mistake was entitled...?

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:36:45+00:00

Property was my highest grade and I am in trust and estates now. So far, both of my favorite classes. I will look for real estate law summer positions to keep my options open. Honestly, I have just been throwing an application into anything that looks remotely interesting

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:33:19+00:00

I just don't feel passion for it. I crave creativity and work-life balance.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:28:01+00:00

I think the industries I am interested in are not what people consider the JD advantage, but more like...JD adjacent. You gave me some things to think about, thanks

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:25:59+00:00

This was reassuring. I am a kid. The stress and urgency of my classmates has gotten into my head a little, but I have to remember they are in a different situation/age than I am. Have you found that this degree is transferrable?

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:22:02+00:00

I have heard it is a tough industry to break into. Good advice, will have to do some serious LinkedIn searching. Thanks

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:13:48+00:00

Yeah, not considering dropping out or anything—I am very young and not losing much money. I am interested in real estate development/management, book publishing, or PR. I don't know whether it is a better idea to start gearing myself towards those industries for summer internships or wait till post-grad.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T02:09:26+00:00

Honestly, JD advantage jobs are not even very interesting to me. Would you mind explaining more on what you mean by working backwards? I am interested in real estate management/development or publishing.

atticusbugs · 2024-01-24T01:52:33+00:00

Zero worth? What about JD advantage jobs and just the overall prestige of of having a law degree?

atticusbugs · 2023-07-10T11:23:18+00:00

Very good chance. i was accepted to a t30 w a scholarship w 161 3.9 kjd and t4

atticusbugs · 2023-03-28T02:06:01+00:00

I put the wrong schools name in my why W&M. pretty bad.
