[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social work sucks, I'd go to law.  Why don't you try being a legal advocate for kids?[/quote]

OP here.  That's a good suggestion.  The problem is, I don't think I would be a very good lawyer.  I honestly didn't understand much of the material in law school, though I got almost all A's just through memorizing a bunch of stuff and being able to regurgitate on exams.  But the law honestly never made sense to me.  I'm more of a creative thinker.  I'm not a very rational thinker, to be honest.

Plus I've been out of law school now so long that I do not remember anything.  I don't remember anything from legal research classes, either.[/quote]

Are you in DC? Do you speak Spanish? I dont know what salary level you're interested in, but right now a lot of NGOs are hiring advocates for the recent influx in unaccompanied immigrant children. You dont need to be a legal expert to be a child advocate. You just have to be persuasive and know how to make recommendations that are in the best interest of the child, which you should know from your SW background.[/quote]
