<p>Demosthenes49, obviously I have considered that I actually want to be a lawyer, hence the reason I’ve considered spending nearly $100 K or more on a legal education be it in Canada, the US or elsewhere. I know that being a lawyer is not like Law & Order, nor is it all litigation, and I know that not all lawyers are rich. I know that it takes three years of study, a lot of reading, a lot of hard work, and that once you actually become a lawyer it involves more reading, more hard work, lots of hours and the risk of not getting hired in an over saturated market. Although after doing a lot of reading on this subject, it’s my understanding that the Canadian market is less saturated than the US market, so I guess it would make much more sense for me to simply go to law school in Canada.</p>
<p>When I stated “It’s true that an IR degree provides limited opportunities, but that’s why I have considered law school after completing my IR degree,” I never indicated that I did NOT want to be a lawyer. It’s an option that I have considered. I apologize for having options and for trying to craft out a path for myself, or worse, trying to actually do something with my life in a hyper competitive job market post recession in a world in which you need to work to make a living.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your perspectives.</p>
