I know of several people in my department that were practicing law and decided to do this instead (don't know why lol) but they are all doing well in the program. |
Thats a tough one, I have almost all of my electives (we're not allowed to minor in my program) in poli sci, and am a bit sick of it. I've also heard that the poli sci departments around here aren't the greatest (I started taking all of my electives online). Also I worked three terms with the government and HATED it. The hard part is the only thing I think I could see myself taking other than law is an MBA, but I already have half the courses and the ones I'd have to take I'd likely fail cause they are stats and math heavy. (I'm an entrepreneurship major who works in the small business and communications areas).
I think what frustrates me is I keep doing things that I hate and checking them off my list of things I never want to do, and I'm getting tired of not getting anything accomplished or making money, If I found what I like I'd be a lot less worried, I'm kinda scared that I'll regret going to law school.
I know this isn't law related but my mom was a real estate broker for years and I was actually toying with the idea of working in real estate. The idea of commission scares the crap out of me though, because of the volatility of the markets. (I plan on doing property law or commercial).
Life would be easy and this decision wouldn't be so hard if I just had the money to not have to work for the next two months. I could just sit down and study and finish. The pressure of trying to graduate is whats killing me now.
