[blindLaw] Question

[Paul Wick]

Hi Rebecca,

What specifically interests you about the law? Your two prior degrees are in highly disparate fields; are you interested in policy? If so, I would highly suggest getting a Masters in public policy or public administration instead, as time-to-degree and debt load are shorter while marketability is higher. I really loved the things we studied in law school, but not such a fan of the practice of law.

Best,

Paul

I worked as a mental health and substance abuse counselor for two years but ultimately decided it was not a good fit for me. I am potentially interested in either corporate law or even looking at diversity and inclusion as well as disability rights. I have some limited vision but mainly use assistive technology such as JAWS.
