[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a college sophomore. Currently a poly sci major with previous intentions of going to law school after undergrad. After speaking to attorneys and learning about the rigors of law school and the pressure of having a high gpa, studying for lsat etc as well as the high costs associated with lsat prep, law school, bar exam etc she is not keen on going to law school anymore. She is a very bright, personable girl. Not stem oriented at all and not artistic. She is not interested in changing majors to business as she is not a fan of accounting, finance etc classes that are prerequisites for the major. What do you recommend for a high paying but fulfilling career that won’t saddle her up in debt or drain her well being. She loves the concept of being a lawyer like arguing, talking with people, etc but just don’t want to go through 3 years after undergrad. She goes to a college in nyc so I know internships there are plenty but is also undecided of what kind of companies to apply to intern in if she is so undecided about her future. [/quote]

She doesn't have to figure it all out at 19. Keep the major she loves, do internships,graduate , apply for Fulbright, Peace corps type programs, hopefully she'll have a clearer vision in few years. Money shouldn't drive long term life decisions. Its not wise to settle for soul sucking professions like accounting, device sales etc. which aren't compatible with who she is. [/quote]
