    I'm a salesman - I've sold luxury watches in the past for Tourneau, I've sold boutique clothing for Club Monaco and I am currently selling supplements and sweetener made from Luo Han Guo for a manufacturer called Newayceutical. Pays well, but isn't much fun.

    I have my B.A. in History, but I don't like writing papers even though I am good at them, so a masters is out for the moment. I was thinking of law school a bit later on.

    I am looking to stop being a salesman and get a job in Federal law enforcement, namely the United States Customs

    I am unemployed so I am working as a full time intern and doing statistical social-psychological research and writing papers. In Turkey it does not matter whether you have skills or not. You have to have contacts... Let's face it, I am unemployed.

    I am a land surveyor with a slight specialsation in construction setout.

    That slight bit being that I often have to get up early to head to some site and tell them where to put their concrete and steel.

    Otherwise I am trekking the hills to find new places to put houses on.

    UCLA... law school? I can only hope to get into that.

    , I have no illusions on the difficulty of law school/the bar.

    I'm also going to most likely get a masters in accounting (one year) if Penn State decides to offer one i time before I graduate. I need the extra year for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam.

    Much misery lies ahead for me , but hopefully it will be worth it.

    I'm an undergraduate student, just about to get my BA in history.

    I work part time in the campus writing center, helping other students work on their writing skills, and part time at a school for children with autism, helping autistic preschoolers learn to focus, interact, and communicate. It can be exhausting (and I don't think I could take a career at it), but the kids are adorable.

    After graduation I plan to take a year off school to save up while researching and applying to grad schools (not to mention getting used to married life), and then I'm aiming for a doctorate in linguistics, and hopefully a teaching career.

    I Do Realize the Bar Exam is quite difficult to pass, One of my Professors makes us do a section of the Bar as a Semester Final. If You pass it you go on, if not... you do the Semester all over again. Thankfully, I've passed em' all with flying colors so far.

    I wouldn't say it's hard, so much as tedious. You just have to study really, really hard. If you do, you'll pass. If you don't, you'll probably fail. Every single person I know who failed just didn't study enough. If you make Bar study your job for 2-3 months before the exam, you'll be fine.

    The main problem is that it takes so dang long to study for it that if you have to do it a second time, it'll butcher your life, especially if you have to work while studying. Far, far easier to get it right the first time, no matter how much it may ruin your social life at the time. Also, for the record, the Bar exam is just a hazing ritual used by the legal system. It is entirely useless for real legal practice.

    Don't get me started on annual bar fees.
