>		I think this discussion is a great illustration of how different people interpret this course in unique, overlapping ways. Throwing my own hat into the ring: the quote does not do much for me, viewed through the scope of any of the interpretations offered above. Getting overly metaphysical about our job choices may be intellectually stimulating in the classroom, but I bet most of us are already engaging in this process internally.

I recognize that I place a great emphasis on how I am seen by others, how society will view me in my future law job, and so on: this recognition results in reflection and examination, consideration and reaffirmation of my core values (which may, themselves, be largely illusions - the chain is endless once you go down this road). Eventually my entire, scattered body of thought on the matter (along with RANDOM CHANCE!) will lead me to my first job.

During that job, unless I am heavily medicated, I will continue to think about this stuff. I may change careers - most of us will move around in the legal profession. This is not a zero sum game, and how are you to know "what you want to be" until you become that entity?
