I'm a Special Ed. teacher; I teach English at the high school level.

You are too funny! Hey, I used to teach "special ed, too!"

No seriously... I am a NJ certified "Teacher of the Handicapped". (They don't even use that title anymore. My original certification was written on papyrus. )

I co-teach in the English Department, and teach replacement English classes because I'm "highly qualified" in English.

I did graphic design...went back to school and now I have a degree in legal studies. I would like to be a paralegal, but thinking about applying for law school.

I did one year of law school after my legal studies degree. I left after finishing one year. I work as a paralegal and that's enough. Try being a paralegal first. A litigation firm is a good place to see if you still want to be an attorney.

How did you find time to get pregnant?

I would do some definite research before doing this. In New York, the law profession is undergoing a major shift. There are thousands of unemployed attorneys because the huge "white-shoe" firms don't have enough work. There are thousands of students graduating from law school with $150k of student loan debt who can't find work. (I work with attorneys...) The place I work uses interns from the top law schools - Columbia, Cornell, GW, etc. Columbia University law school is, I think, maybe top 5. A year ago only 11 students out of a class of hundreds were offered jobs. 11! From Columbia!

There are dozens of articles in the New York times about the situation:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/business/09law.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/business/26lawyers.html?pagewanted=all

And this (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/07/opinion/the-cautionary-tale-of-dewey-leboeuf.html) is all over the "law world" news -- Dewey & LaBoeuf, one of the oldest firms in NYC is bascially imploding. They will most likely be out of business by the end of the month. (Read abovethelaw.com for the sordid details.)

Not saying you shouldn't do it, I would just think very long and very hard before you spend the time and money. Obviously it makes a difference which law school you're thinking of, and where you want to try to work (big firm, in-house, nonprofit, etc.).

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info...if I don't apply for law school I am going to attend OU in the Fall to obtain my ABA certification for paralegals. So I think a 4 yr degree and this certification will open some doors for me here in Oklahoma.

I studied social sciences, and am currently a crisis worker. I really wanted a music career at one point and hope I get the drive to feel motivated with my music interests again.

I work in the entertainment industry. I am a director, actor, writer, & producer. (I know by my Org postings you would never think that. I know I wouldn't it. :Cringe:). I have recently decided to retire from acting to focus on directing. I currently have a huge project that is being completed and I am truly excited about it.

Sounds amazing, I don't talk much about what I do either, but rather what else I could do in the future if I was disciplined

My husband was a management consultant at McKinsey & Co. at the highrise across the street. Afternoon delight?

Student studying pharmacy. Prior to that I was majoring in chemistry. At the moment, I'm doing 1st year hospital rotations...

And in my spare time, I play piano, sing, dance, and paint.

Wanker. Apparently.
