 I come from a family full of lawyers. Both my parents went to law school (my dad dropped out), and of my ten aunts and uncles, five are legal professionals. My mother went to law school to learn a trade, and after graduation she got a job at the NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development. Over 35 years later, she still works there. My uncle, her brother went to law school to become rich and powerful. He is now a partner at a big law firm and spends the majority of his time defending big tobacco companies.

Until recently, I somewhat unconsciously saw those as my two choices. And I thought I'd found a middle ground—working at firm for a few years for training and credentials, moving in-house to some sort of media company, getting a nice stable job with nice easy hours doing work that wouldn't be terribly stressful. I worked in publishing for a while, I'm interning in-house at the New York PBS station this summer, and I could easily float down that path.
