gridloreI may have, at 43, finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up.
A lawyer.
No idea what kind of law I'd practice (or who would even hire a rookie shyster north of fifty) but I've been reading some materials related to Brown v. Board of Education and realize that I love the feel of the law. It's a lot like debate, creating a logical argument backed up by evidence, and setting it against your opponent's arguments and evidence. I like the weight of precedent, the authority of the Constitution, and the idea of the body of law changing and growing with society.
I will also freely admit that a career that doesn't involve 11 hour days spent in a truck is also appealing at this juncture in my life. And I've always wanted a snazzy briefcase.
No idea how to even start. I suppose digging out Kiri's ACT and SAT prep stuff to start getting ready to take those for the first time in my life would be a wise move.
This may just be my insomnia talking, but yeah. The subject has always fascinated me.
