Should I stay or should I go
Someone mentioned to me once that a law degree is like a passport to
everywhere and I have seen enough examples to opine that that is
true. A law degree especially held by a legal practitioner carries with it
certain level of respect and sometimes one that is looked upon with
intimidation. Deservedly so because standing on your feet representing
a person’s right which affect a person’s affairs and liberty while
upholding the law is not an easy task. That said we live in a generation
where whatever it is that you do well and right is given the same level
of respect, and dare I say sometimes more, be it whether you are a
talented chef, singer or a social worker. The mindset of people in this
era has evolved and we are able to recognize good and hard work that
does not necessarily need to come from being in a legal profession.
The legal field is always a natural course to take if you had studied law
but do not let that stop you from going after where your interest lies
(albeit after doing some research about it as I have advised). Whatever
you do, do it with passion.
Good Luck!
