Telling a family member you dont need college Anonymous 2017-07-30 12:24:34 Post No. 18570686 [Report]

So I need to preface this awkward subject by saying I did already receive a bachelors degree. In my early years I had the idea of continuing my education by going into law school and becoming a lawyer, but that was ages ago. Fast forward now and I have no intention of going there. I can't imagine another 3 years of even more intensive work, 3 more years of no job experience, and upwards of 100k+ further in debt. I have a parent who expects me to go to law school no matter what. They're convinced its the only way to be successful in life. They have told anyone who MOVES that I am going to law school and built up this impossible expectation. Keep in mind they have no intention of helping pay for it, nor did I expect them to. How do I break it to them that I'd rather pursue my career in a more traditional sense by working my way up through employment opportunities?

by doing it, and doing it well. parent is proud of you and likes showing you off. if you're successful in what you pursue it doesn't much matter what it is -- anyone who questions with the "but i thought you said he was gonna be a lawyer...?" line will get their face ripped off and told in no uncertain terms how good you are at whatever you're doing. it's when you say fuck it and give up altogether and do nothing that they have to scramble and figure out a way to save face all the time. don't expect a smooth as butter transition here or anything like that but regardless the answer remains that you just have to do it and whatever it is do it well

Its not that im giving up on achieving more, its just that I dont want to be a lawyer or go into a career that necessitates law school. I just dont have a direction right now and its getting late in the game.
