I am the biggest law nerd there is. But I am a Communication major with a concentration is PR and Broadcasting. The reason I didn't go to school is because all through freshman and sophomore year of college I babysat for this one family. The mother had just finished law school and she was already partner in her husband's firm. Since she was a defense attorney, she would sometimes be gone all day and half of the night.
One day, when she had a day off, I was talking to her about going into law school preferably to get into the music business with intellect property or maybe environmental law. She asked me if I planned on having kids. And I said that I wanted one or two. And she looked me in the face and said, 'I know more law graduates working as teachers than actually practicing law. It's a competitive field and hard for a woman to get into unless you know the right people. And you can't do this to your children. I'm not at home as much as I should be. This is the most vital time of their lives and I'm not here.' And then, she started crying.
Granted, I haven't decided what I'm going to do. . .but I'm thinking twice before I cash in on my good LSAT score. That's why I'm doing the Comm major.
