Oh no.

Law school's a no go... after reading some reviews/interviews, and talking to a few people.. I realized its just unrealistic for me. Did you know you can't have a job while in law school? And if you plan on having kids, its pretty wise to wait until your graduated from law school. Yeah.. I really didn't plan on waiting 7 or 8 years for that. So I decided I'm not going to decide a certain career path just yet.. But decide a major. Deciding a career right now is too difficult because then I have to decide all these other paths I have to take to get to that exact point. So I picked a major thats flexible. It's not really a major you can only have a few career choices from, there's so many.. A lot of people don't think of this study as very practical.. or even know what kind of career path it leads to.. But there's not really anything set in stone. It leads to a lot of different opportunities career wise. And I kind of know what i'm going for.. but not quite.. if that makes sense. Right now, my major and what I want to do once my kids are out of the house. But yeah, thats all I had to say. I'm pretty excited. (PhD. in Anthropology)

  1. I'd definitely say something in the medical field would be better. not only will you graduate college and everything a little bit quicker, but in the end you'd save some money! law school is outrageous..well thats what I've heard lol

  2. yeah at Vanderbilt where I wanted to go its around $50,000 per year..
    But I could never do anything medical.. I hate blood, I hate needles, I hate the smell of it all.. My nana and mom work as nurses and their stories turned me away from it. Anthropology has a department for medicine.. but I'm more interested in cultural aspects. Why people do things, there culture, music, art, religions, past and present. Also, a subdivision of anthro is archaeology and when my kids are grown and what not, i'd LOVE to travel a little and do that. But first i'll probably get into cultural anthro.. you can do a lot with it like social work, analysts, or psychology.. etc.

  3. I think Law School would be very hard. It would be something I think I'd like to do but it is way too much school and I don't think I'm smart enough for it. Your job shouldn't be the most important thing in your life, just decide what you want and life will fall in around that. :)
