Lurking?? How to find a home within all the forums and threads?

Chim, my best friend's daughter is a lawyer, in Massachusetts. She started her own law practice, right out of law school, criminal and divorce law.

Have you given any thought to just starting your own practice, instead of joining a law firm?

Hmmm I took off my pants and shoes Nd got under the covers.
May have to put them back on cause for some reason I have s'mores on the brain

 

[Chimney34]

Awww Chim!
That's really not fair
I know life is not fair but still, I just really hate that for you
I've heard those bar exam's are tough!

Yes! 2 days of torture! I try to stay cheerful & optimistic though! It'll come together! It just might take a little more time than I had hoped.

I have I just have to get past the Bar Exam hurdle. And that means getting all of my financial issues back in order so that I can get through the 'character & fitness' part of the application process. Basically you have to show that you don't have anything past due or in collections to pass. And last year was really tough. They really don't care what caused you to get behind so right now I've just been focusing on that & trying to find something in my field or at minimum something that pays better.

Chim, I wish you the best and knowing you, I have no doubt that you will succeed.

Would family law prepare you for the social work field?

Of course not, Dale, I love you ladies for your minds only.

With that kind of attitude, you will go far. Just know that everything you experience is adding to the person you are and will be, and the success you'll achieve. I was 29 before I was given even the first opportunity for a "real" job. I didn't think I'd make it, the challenges were so hard. I look back now, nearly 25 years later, and know that I'm well respected & REALLY good at what I do now. Facing & conquering those challenges are the reason I am, and you will too.

Thanks Jerry! I know it will! Sometimes I just have to remind myself that it could be worse & that there are others going through the exact same thing & in spite of it all I am very blessed!

Yep! It's funny you say that cause I've applied for a bunch of those jobs as well.

Oh Chim, how frustrating!! ((((HUGS))))) So did you say you went to M.State?? My SIL is alumni there. She and her husband (also alumni) were married at the little chapel on campus. It was really neat. Quick, but neat. They gave you a time slot...LOL...at the time, there was a 3 year waiting list for a Sat. in June. She got lucky with a cancellation. If I'm mistaken, it's just par for the course....I so totally messed up Jerry and the FB thing........

Sorry Jerry, my bad again. But did I have the part right about your BF living in CA??

Again, thank you so much everyone. Yes, apparently my dad will be okay.

And if Deej is lurking, he's no doubt thinking there's some truth to those movies after all....

Liar Pant's on fire!
