idk which bitch needs to hear this but in 2022 please put yourself first for once. spend money on yourself, on therapy, on things that bring you joy. treat yourself like you would treat a family member or friend. if you think something is too expensive to spend on yourself, consider if you’d hesitate to buy it for anyone else. give yourself the time that you keep giving to others. be less available. make yourself a priority.
This is a really shitty thing for someone to do. It’s insane to believe that this woman who has literally built and supported business across multiple industry is somehow less capable of becoming a lawyer than literally anyone else who ISN’T a lawyer… not to say that anyone who is a practicing attorney is has the ability to gauge the capability of someone they don’t know, personally. Anyone who isn’t supporting this, is a piece of shit.
You misunderstood the point of this post, let me explain:
As someone who spent money and grueling time to go through law school, take the bar, and become a lawyer, I have a knee-jerk, eye-roll reaction to any statement that anyone *will* be a lawyer when they haven’t yet done any of what it takes. Kim has to first pass California’s “baby bar” on first year courses before she is even eligible to take the actual bar, which basically no one who does the apprenticeship route ever passes.
Her dad was a famous lawyer and she has all the resources she wants at her fingertips, and good for her that she wants to take on this challenge. But telling the world that a college drop-out doing an apprenticeship is to definitely be a lawyer three years from now is misleading, and annoying for me to see, that’s all. This profession is not a right, nor a shiny thing you can just buy. It’s a privilege that you have to earn with time, money, and a lot of hard work, and even then requires luck to get.
This has aged well
It is now 18 days from 2022 and Kim has finally passed the baby bar, which means she has two more years and the bar exam left
everyone always says that the best profession you can have if you love hearing tea is working in HR but I disagree. as a lawyer you literally get the tea from all angles and from everyone involved and get to ask questions about it and make people swear that it’s true under the penalties of perjury. you also get to gather receipts and be like, but your honor, the receipts
reblog this for a chance to receive some 12(b)(6) stickers and a holiday card handwritten by yours truly to pass down for generations to come. should be following me. reblogging multiple times might help because i am too lazy to check if you did and will be picking few at random and that is the true meaning of christmas probably
I’m normally not one for voluntarily submitting myself to human interaction, but I think finals are messing with my brain so here it goes
This is in fact the final exam of law school. The bar exam is just three days of having to argue about things you care about and prove to the examiners that you can do so without your voice cracking. You get two voice crack chances and then your lawyer card is forever taken away.
