Back in university my acquaintance Michael & I were taking philosophy classes together & wondering where the future would take us.
- The people I was with and I were full of so much idealism & hope back then, however now I am a weird woman altogether.
The last numerous years were devastating for me, however at least the nightmares are slowly coming to an end. Michael had her own set of struggles, especially when she started law university during my senior year of undergraduate university. It wasn’t an easy transition, especially since every one of us were at a university initially that cared little about GPA & test scores. But suddenly she was at a law university where tests were absolutely mandatory & counted heavily towards her overall performance. She started with the intention of becoming a criminal attorney, so naturally she studied criminal law. There is regularly abundant labor in public defense & prosecution, especially if you’re willing to live in the state capital. However, a year of laboring in criminal law soured Michael’s stance toward it & she took the opportunity to shadow an attorney at her firm who was a prominent company lawyer. Now that Michael is also a company lawyer, he’s much happier at labor every single day. One of her largest purchasers operates the leading men’s apparel outlet store in the state. Despite having her hands full every week at work, she still manages to get time for himself on the weekends to spend with her family or doing her hobbies at home. I can see why she prefers being a company lawyer opposed to a criminal attorney.
