My best friend is in law school and it seems like she hates it. But she'll have a better time finding a job because she's fluently bilingual, and that's really valuable in the legal arena.

Anyway

My parents just moved south. So I'm hoping that maybe if I can't get a job with my degrees up here, I can move south and get my teaching certifications and just teach as a last resort. My mom is a retired teacher so at least she might be able to help me with that.
