It's an interesting thing, an English degree. The direction it allows you to go is a paradox of choice: you have so many options from which to choose for your career to go that it's so hard to make up your mind, and you end up with less.
When I graduated, I had the intention of continuing on to teaching, like many of other liberal arts grads. Several people used the English degree as a springboard for law school.
Back then, I thought there'd be no way in hell I'd ever go to law school.
Fast forward a few years (ok, a decade. bite me.), and that idea doesn't sound all that bad. I might have the assertiveness of a box of paper, but I have other strenghts that could help me. Also, I'm even interested in it, oddly enough.
So, the question I ask: am I in Hell?
Ok, I still have quite a few hurdles to climb over and things to think about before I consider law school, but I can at least begin researching the LSATs and what I'd need to get into school. That seems like a decent first step.
