You clearly don't know anything about law. Anyone who likes literature will love the hell out of law. Each case its like its own novel of varying degrees of interest.

I do think people who like literature would like law, but not for this reason. It's because in law, words are important as fuck. If ever there were a case for the problems of language, it would be the pains with which the law profession tries to say anything at all.

1. Shop around for life insurance policies. They will be cheap and have a massive payout, considering you age. Make sure to go with Term, as Whole is a particularly insidious piece of financial fourberie.
2. Kill yourself.
3. ???
4. Profit.

That or find a way to make money writing.

There are times when you look at yourself and wonder what is to be. Many people have found their place, they have a type of stability. There are many roads of life, some paved in gold, some treacherous... Perhaps the road of life is shinning brightly on somebody's path and a clear destination can be seen. Am I to envy these "fortunate" types? I truly don't know as i sit on my overgrown winding path. I know not it's destination. In my twilight I can detect both the sense of satisfaction, but from elsewhere drudgery...I do not know from where I can detect these. I would like to see in clarity where I walk yet not know where the road leads...only how to walk it
