Why Law School

Who knows, honestly. Once I realized that I had no future in the NFL, NHL or any other professional sport, I eventually understood that one day I would have to work and make money and support myself. So as I started my undergrad, I tried to figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I'm a sports nut, so I thought maybe I could go into something along those lines, such as a trainer or something medicinal. My dad works for a local hospital and he suggested I volunteer at the physical therapy center to see if that's something I would be interested in. After a few short weeks, I came to the conclusion that I had no business in that field. Medicine still interested me, so I started looking into that and spoke with a few doctors and family friends in related fields. Biology 1301 and 1302 quickly helped me see what a terrible idea it would be for me to be in any medical or related field, so I scratched that idea off the list. My best and oldest (not actual age, I'm referring to the duration of the friendship) friend, Matt was finishing up his undergrad and was getting ready for law school and the more we talked, the more it started to interest me. I started looking into it further and with my nerdy passion for government and history, I realized that this was something I could do and enjoy and hopefully make a few bones while doing it. So began my journey into law, probably two years or more before I would even step foot in a law school.
