A Librarian in Law School?

I remember a time when I used to be decisive, but before I graduated from undergrad, this melted away. I spent five years in a liberal arts-filled bliss and planned on going for my Ph.D. in Classics before I realized that I really did not want to teach. So I took a year off and worked in a library, as I'd done all through college.

I spent a lot of time contemplating what I wanted to do next and I thought long and hard about law school before deciding I wasn't ready to make that decision, and knowing it wasn't a decision that should be made until I could be decisive.

This led to me going to graduate school for library science. Luckily, I had an assistantship, so I didn't acquire any debt. I figured I would learn a lot about researching that could be helpful no matter what profession I eventually entered. It was okay, but the lack of analytical thought drove me nuts. I enjoyed the reference classes when I was actually researching, but there was no challenge, which is something I need to hold my interest.

Long story short, my mind returned to law school. I was certain I would be challenged. I knew I'd be using the analytical part of my brain that was so dormant during my library classes. I enjoy research and writing. I think I'd be good at it, which is also something mandatory of the profession I choose.

I'm heading to law school with the security that if I don't want to practice law, I enjoy reference librarianship and law librarians positions are more financially stable (so I'll eventually be able to pay off all the loans).

I'm looking forward to using my brain again, to wake up from the lull that my life has been the last three years. It'll be interesting to see how the next three compare....
