so, a lawyer has to be able to do two jobs - although, in truth, most lawyers hire assistants to help them do the thing people associate with them.

when people think of the vocation of a lawyer, they think of somebody that is able to come up with good arguments, and apply those arguments to existing law. this is a scholarly vocation that requires a lot of research and a lot of analysis and a lot of creative thought. and, i do think i would be pretty good at this role.

but, as mentioned, in the real world, this is not what a lawyer actually does.

the actual job of a lawyer in the real world is to take control of a court room, and project a certain dominance over it's opponents. this is not a scholarly position, and is actually best inhabited by people we would usually think of as jocks, as it is reliant on a dominant personality style.

so, if you're telling me i'd make a good layer, you're wrong - i am not a dominant person, and i do not project power. i come off very weak in a court room. and, i have no interest in modifying how i project myself in this way - as i find that kind of thing to actually be quite revolting, and worthy of a great deal of contempt.

if you're telling me i'd make a good assistant, that's another question. but, the key point from my view is this: who would i be assisting?

i'd rather make music.
