[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, obviously I'm having problems because I'm NOT good at what I set out to do... I stated several times that I received terrible grades in school. I was *expecting* to be able to "cope with the requirements of practicing law" because I score well on tests, but I great overestimated my skills and performed terribly in law school.

I stated that I *speak* Chinese and Japanese. I can sort of read in Chinese if there's pinyin (my weekend Chinese school wasn't the greatest about teaching us how to read/write). Unless these international law jobs only require someone SPEAKING in those languages, I doubt I could get hired. [/quote]

first of all, grades mean nothing regarding being "good" at it.  You were bad at law school, doesn't mean you are going to be a bad lawyer.  I had horrible grades but worked in Big Law for over ten years.  Didn't really like it, but made a lot of money and now I am a partner at a regional firm.  That is not unusual.  Don't worry so much about the grades.[/quote]
