A fork in the road

Lincoln Adams | January 20, 2007 @ 9:00 am

I was recently accepted into a part time program at a nearby law school. :cheer:

But I’m not THAT thrilled about it. :nocheer:

One of the reasons why is because I still haven’t made up my mind about law school. Regardless, this presents a far better opportunity than I had before. I won’t have to quit my job or move to another state, I’ll have the luxury of giving it a try for one semester, and if things don’t work out, or I decide it was a mistake, I can withdraw without suffering severe losses.

But man do I hate this school. It just oozes liberalism from every core, and there’s no doubt the professors will be leftist retreads who will probably spend half the time lecturing us on how Bush stole the election in 2000, ad the other half lecturing us on how Bush is the sole reason for global warming. My patience with libtards has reached its limit, so I doubt I’d be able to thrive in such an environment unless I can somehow zone out from my commie surroundings and go to a happy place in my head (which usually involves rolling around in the hay with Jessica Alba).

For virtually that reason alone, I had opted to attend a more conservative school in another state so I could myself in a community where people were at least close to the same wavelengths I was on. And let’s not forget the babes. :shades: A college atmosphere that draws a more conservative crowd would provide the kind of dating mill that I was desperately searching for. If I stay here, the girls may still be hot, but they’ll also most likely be vicious, man hating freaks with a favorite pasttime of conducting public castrations. Finding a pure and gentle cuddly soul amongst a lot like that might prove to be a bigger undertaking than building a space shuttle using nothing more than plastic straws and toothpicks.

Then there’s the matter of the cost. Even part time, tuition is still expected to cost me roughly 25 grand a year. Right now I’m currently on pace to pay off all my debts (from car payments to my old college loan) in another year or so. The thought of being completely debt free in a relatively short period of time is an extremely enticing one for me, but it would be something I would have to forgo pretty much for the rest of life should I decide to attend law school. The cost benefit analysis here tells me this crap just isn’t worth it.

But then there’s the matter of whether I was born to eventually enter this profession. I haven’t read anything remotely legally related in a while, and over time my interest in the law has waned. Whether that’s an indication that being an attorney just isn’t for me, I dunno, but it’s not an encouraging sign. I SHOULD have a notable amount of passion for pursuing this endeavor, but I just don’t. But then again, I don’t seem to have a passion for much of anything these days, except kicking back on my easy chair and watching syndicated reruns of Scrubs.

The good thing is that I still have 3 months before making a final decision. And even if I should decide against attending law school, things might easily change given enough time, and maybe I’ll make another run at it after a few years have gone by (or when I inherit a 10 million dollar trust fund). :grin:
