lady_kishiriaI'm gonna take the LSAT.
About a week ago I told Steve that I'm getting really sick of this doctorate. It doesn't help that I can't see my advisors, or go to school regularly, or any of the things that keep you going when you're doing this. I also fear that all my work will have no returns. It really tears me up inside that all my female friends from Religious Studes at McGill are now ordained and in trailblazing careers where I can't do shit with my degree precisely because I'm a woman. Sometimes I really hate being Catholic and just want to cross the floor to the Lutherans.
So this is my thought. Take the LSAT and see if I can get the high score in order to get a free ride to TJSL (where Steve goes). All lawyering is is writing and arguing points logically, and I can DO that. Oh boy can I do that! There's even jobs that don't require passing the bar. I'm not sure what I'd specialize in, but I'm thinking contracts. Queer law would be interesting, but no money there.
Off to bed; Tuesdays I have to be at work at 7 (sigh).
