Hi! I just want to say first that I love your photos! Especially the one of your dog sleeping! haha But I saw your post about being a lawyer, and my boyfriend wants to be a lawyer but I think he's also discouraged about stories he's heard from law students who hate it. I was wondering how you got your experience and how you got started getting into the law field? Thanks! asked by sheercotton

Aw thanks, and my dog is my favorite girl to shoot :D. 

To answer your other question, I got my experience through good old fashion hustling. That sounds weird, but I just took opportunities as soon as it presented itself.

Everything I’ve done so far hasn’t discouraged me to pursue law school, it’s just hard to hold my ground when so many people say they don’t enjoy it. But I’m also super guilty of only hearing the bad and filtering out the good. I know plenty of people who really love what they do, but the nightmarish stories seem to stick out like a cold soar on someone’s lip while the good ones kind of fade in your memory. 

As for how I got “into” the field, my dad was a practicing attorney for 10 years and he eventually became a Judge about 3 years ago. So it’s almost in my blood. But if you or your boyfriend have questions about the field, feel free to shoot me an email (teddysnguyen@gmail.com)
