random ranting

Well ive decided im going back to school (specifically prelaw at tcc/osu) upon sharing this news with my family i got, a:"well good but no one is gonna take u seriously u dont look professional"(because of the fact that i like to dress in a manor that that doesnt hide my body) b:wow thats alot of years of school at ur age good luck (really?! im 29 i didnt realize i was that old) c: how are you going to support your family all that time your in school. (uh remember my wife earns enough money to support us thanks tho.)

and rant 2 why do people who dont know me well but are aware that i had my boobs done (sorry but im ranting) its not hard to tell ive had them done. but they assume i had this horrible self image problem and that i have low self confidence because i did it. sorry but i did it because i wanted to but that i had low selfconfidence no not really. just didnt like that most 12yo's were bustier than i.

Katy, go for it girl! The only person who is going to look out for you is yourself. Furthering your education is absolutely awersome. Wish I could figure out what I want to do with myself so I can go back to school. LOL I have a friend who got tired of paying lawyers for her business so she went to law school and passed the BAR exam and is now her own attorney.

As for the boob thing, my wife did it. She is 6' tall and had an A-Cup. Now she's a full C and couldn't be happier. She did it when she was single, 2 months before we met actually, and did it for herself. Clothes fit better, she feels more balanced. Not a self image thing at all.

If you have a loving and supporting wife who can support the household, and supports your decision, then go for it!!!

people only give me crap about the boobs things because i was a full a/b and im a full d/dd now (im 5'5 and only 124 lbs)

i figure my whole life i seesawed between becoming a lawyer and being a mechanic (ya how different can ya get lol) but i did the mechanic thing and tho i loved it doing it for a living is unpractical as all heck now. so time for option 2

People change. People's experiences change them. You'll change after being in law school. Who knows how, but you will.

You'll find a happy medium that allows you to be you and work, everyone does. If we didn't we'd all still look like we did in Jr. High or High School. But if you think about it you were probably your most conformist back then. You dressed like those in your group, even if it was the non-conformist group, you conformed to their look.

Work always has it's look. A mechanic has one look, an attorney another. It won't happen overnight and the doubters will one day wonder why they were worried.

Damn! Well, that may help you as a lawyer. LOL

I was going to put one of those "This thread is useless without pichters" memes, but that'd be like, distasteful, right?

Jokes aside - it's obviously a good thing that you're going back to school no matter what the ever-supportive family might quip about. You know that, we know that, the slightly-off cousin with possible developmental problems probably knows that. Hell, it's not like you're going back to school to be a underwater basket weaver or anything.

Which reminds me - I miss college. I had a GREAT time there.

Nice supportive family you have... geez.

At least you are a strong enough person to go back to school and be able to ignore the snide comments...

lol the key is uve never had to shop for a blazer with my body lol difficult to do. any button up blouses or blazers need to be tailored to fit or buy too big for my shoulders and waist

Being a lawyer can help pay for wrenching on your own stuff more.

My wife is 2" shorter and has bigger boobs than you so I am aware of the issues. And it's not all fun.

Pants never fit. They all have to be taken up.

thankfully as long as im not wearing flats pants are ok for me but for businessy clothes i rarely wear pants heck even out of those settings unless im wrenching or yard work i still rarely wear pants

All the more reason not to listen to them about this. School is good. I wouldn't be in the mess I'm in now if I had finished.

berkeley perception. berkeley what others think when you know what it is. Do what you want. Its all you. And nice boobs.

All I can say is do what you want to do. Screw anyone that is negative towards it. If its going to better your life, then do it.

I've gone too long in life with people telling me what their negative opinions on everything. My family and I have butt heads since the day I met my wife. It's not fun when people think they know what's best for you and they want to drill it in your head.

As for the looks, you'll get there. It's a transition to go from one end of the job spectrum to the other. You will find your look in due time.

i do dress professional when the times call for it. but i always err on the side of a lil provactive (im still young have a flat stomach and great legs and boobs im going to enjoy it while i can)

In reply to z31maniac:

lmao u know what im totally ok with people thinking i dress slutty its when my character is judged by the fact that i do like somehow i have no respect for myself because i show my body.

I'd wager a majority of women are like that. There is a fine line between dressing "slutty" in a business environment and dressing to kill.

you go girl... if you've got it (them) flaunt it

This.

Like it or not, there IS a 'standard' for work dress, particularly in an office environment. And shallow people (who make up 85% of the population) will judge on looks alone. That's just how it is. I did not write 'the rules' but they are there regardless.

Something else you might consider: in an office of women who may not measure up (either real or imagined) they may take what they consider 'showing off' as an affront because they are jealous. That will create MASSIVE problems. They do not even have to be your peers or bosses, the 'underlings' can sabotage someone quite effectively, male or female. Seen it more than once. Again, I did not write the rules but I have to play by them. Flaunt that 'rule' at your peril.

First of all, 29 is not too old to go back to school. If you're just starting a bachelors, though, you WILL be at least 36 by the time you finish law school. I had several friends while I was in law school who were in their late 30s by the time they finished. It's not terribly unusual, and if you can do it financially, great.

BUT: GIVE A LOT OF THOUGHT TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO BE A LAWYER. Seriously. The hours suck, the schooling is mind-numbing, the pay is not as good as everyone believes, and most importantly, the market is completely saturated right now. We have enough lawyers to go around and probably will for the foreseeable future, but colleges keep pumping new lawyers out because the law schools are profit centers that make money for the college as a whole. I graduated in 2009 from a second-tier law school. A year later, my class only had about 50% employment as lawyers. That class had an average of something like $76,000 in student loan debt (mine is actually way higher than that). It's gotten a little better, but its still not good.

Now, if you're actually passionate about being a lawyer and you have an accurate perception of what practicing law is like, then more power to you. Passion for your field will take you a long way. But I would reccommend that you go work in a law office first as a paralegal to get an idea of what life in the trenches is like. It's not for everyone and its rarely what people envisioned prior to going to school. Also, this might help you find an area or field of law that you like and want to specialize in. The days of the "Atticus-Finch-does-everything-country-lawyer" are slowly coming to an end.

If you do go back to school, pre-law as a major is a sucker bet. Law schools will take you if you have a BA or BS in anything and a high enough LSAT score. Study something else that interests you (and then if you don't go to law school, or start and decide not to go through with it, you'll have a fallback career).

Just some thoughts from someone else who was either going to be a mechanic or a lawyer, became a lawyer, and now realizes he wants to be a mechanic.
