But he has to spend the next year learning calculus while he keeps working as a legal secretary.
Law school? Or the type where you get out, then don't make any money?
Economics.
I was scared off of law school when half the lawyers I asked told me it was miserable, and the five staff attorney positions in the state public defender program were deluged with 700 applications.
You know, they graduate more and more lawyers every year Thanatos, but I understand the number of attorney jobs has been pretty steady since the early 90s.

That makes for an ugly long term picture.
Yeah, I know. And it makes me doubt myself, sometimes. It's gonna be a couple of years before I have the financial security to really look at it, though. And maybe by then, something new will have fallen into my lap.
Honestly, I enjoy IT an awful lot, and that combined with my legal/administrative knowledge puts me in a pretty good position when it comes to doing a lot of different things. Maybe I'll just stick with this for awhile, see where it takes me.
I've come to realize that odds are, my job is almost certainly always going to be at odds with my personal politics. And I'm okay with that.

There's always the alternative of embracing madness.
If you ever decide you hate money, time, and being able to enjoy games ever again, I'd be happy to recommend you.

How does one even get into that? I thought about it but I had no idea where to even start. I'd love to be an editor.
I got an internship with a small publishing house near my university. Some houses offer unpaid internships where you serve as the 'first line of defense' against unsolicited manuscripts.

Do you get to write soul crushing response letters?

Do they take non students, cause that boat already sailed. Also: do they exist outside NYC.

There was actually an article about that in The Stranger a couple weeks ago.
I have enjoyed informing my backwoods carpenter relatives of how I make a living this holiday while they chop trees and shit.
Tree-chopping business ain't what it used to be.
Apparently Christmas Tree farms are fucking money though.
Yes. Also I have some family members who are solidly lower upper middle class who are pondering dropping their fat salaries to take up organic farming for uber cash.

Don't most schools have a University Press? Are you nearby any relatively large colleges?

Do you get to write soul crushing response letters?
No, but I do get to write 1-2 page reports for the editors, recommending rejection or that the editor take a closer look. I take 15 or so minutes to write the report, and usually by the first 10 pages or so I know if its shit or not. I do love rejecting someone's life work. People pour their hearts into manuscripts and they all suck!
although if someone sends in a query (20 or so pages of a manuscript with a cover letter) I get to post them a pre-printed rejection postcard. It's awesome.
Lots of dudes want a girl who is 'one of the dudes' and 'lets me be myself' and stuff like that
I dunno
I find that unattractive
Sure I want to be accepted depsite my peculiarities, and I don't want to always walk on egg shells and hold in farts and stuff
But I do like me some romance and mystery and gushing
I'm hoping to find a girl that compliments my weaknesses and so forces me to be a better person. For instance I'm very outgoing with people I know, but introverted in just about every other circumstances so hopefully she'd prod me into going out more and meeting people. &c.

But it pays really well.

Don't worry Marshall. You'll be an environmental lawyer someday.
So you like your sciences to be dismal I see.

You see, I'm only happy when it rains.

I'm always grateful for my current job in that respect, even though I'm just an office lackey. At least it is meaningful and the benefits are good.
I'm given to understand that life is what happens while you are making other plans.

And I wish to archive or reference them. Not catalogue, though, if I can help it.

Didn't he pretty much get screwed by the job market and is no longer an architect or something last season? Sounds about right.
i'm a one note person aren't I?

If you want to edit manuscripts you...become friends with a lot of writers and give them free advice?
Not really. Good idea though.
These ideas seem unconnected.
You know that women can have complex personalities just like real people can, right?
