[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The baby bar is challenging because it tests people on all the legal knowledge of the first year of law school, but without a formal education. That’s tough because it’s entirely up to the individual to structure their learning and synthesize all of it at once for a single exam. Very different than actual law school, where there is a lot more structure and support and your knowledge is tested on discrete subjects on separate tests over the course of the year. [b]Kim’s track is definitely the harder way to gain legal knowledge.[/b]

I mean, I’m not going to lose sleep over this. She’s fine, and things will work out for her whether she retakes it or quits. The stakes are very low. I failed the California bar the first time I took it and I survived that with far fewer resources. But what she’s doing is objectively hard and I do think it’s admirable that she’s obviously working really hard at it. I feel for her.[/quote]

I agree that it’s admirable in the sense that she’s applying herself in a substantive way that most celebrities don’t, but this is perhaps a stretch. If it’s such a harder route, Kim could always go the “easier” route of going to law school. I bet I could have passed the baby bar before I went to law school if I had unlimited resources and a year to study. [/quote]

Well, to be fair, she was also managing a billion dollar brand, raising 4 kids alone while her erratic husband ran for president and tweeted videos of himself pissing on music awards, and then negotiating a divorce between her billionaire self and her batsh-t insane billionaire husband. [b] I'd say she had her hands full.  [/b]

It's good that Kim is trying to legitimize nontraditional routes to professional work. She could easily have done an independent study at a university but many people are trying to break the stranglehold that higher education has on social mobility (which helps people in higher classes and harms people in lower classes), and she seems to be part of that trend.

Her hands are only as full as she wants them to be. She has as much staff to tend to her every need as she wants. [/quote]
