Breakfast Babble: ED’s own little space on the interwebs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up for the day. We judge things too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in people.
First up, this is not a long rant on unemployment and bad career choices, pinky swear. Just a little chat over coffee. Read along!
So, a few days ago I was chatting about career options in law with a fellow colleague (who is also a law student!). Midway our conversation, we realised how peculiar this particular field is.

Unlike other fields, wherein students are forced by parents to pursue a particular subject, almost all law students choose law out of their own will.
Law as a subject is interesting to read, analyse and understand. But let me just ask all the law students out there, do you want to be a lawyer/litigator/judge/corporate associate/law officer?
If you’re taking less than 10 seconds to answer a no, you friends are in this ironical situation just like all others. (If it’s a yes, awesome. Here, have a cookie!)
As for me…
Anyway, see the irony of it all? We choose what we love but hate having a career out of what we love!
So, yeah. That’s what I have up my head this morning sitting in my office. Taking sips of my perfect coffee while researching.
I have one of the most coveted internships available in my field. I am working on topics and laws I love reading about. Court visits and getting to hear arguments on matters that affect the whole nation, crazy!
But would I take a job right here, if given a chance? Guess not!
That’s my little babble over coffee today, gotta go and work again.
There, there. Waddup, irony?
