How Do I Find Clarity and Direction After Years of Uncertainty?
Hello,
As I reflect on the past decade of my life, I find myself at a crossroads, feeling a mix of uncertainty and a desire for change. In just seven months, I’ll be turning 30, and I can’t help but feel the weight of my choices.
Over the last ten years, I’ve ventured through college, earning a degree in political science with aspirations of attending law school. However, after four years, I realized that this path wasn’t right for me. I then shifted gears to pursue a degree in psychology, investing two years and a significant amount of money in tuition, only to find myself drawn back to the idea of law school once more.
I dedicated countless hours to studying and sought tutoring, which took a considerable financial toll. I started to see progress with my practice tests, feeling that I was on the verge of doing well. Then, out of nowhere, I landed a job that I thought would unlock my potential. Although it wasn’t paying six figures right away, I was told there was potential for growth. At $35 an hour, it was the most I’d ever made, but the environment turned out to be toxic and draining.
Now, after 4 to 5 months in that role, returning to the rigorous study required for law school

the way this is presented changes how it lands and that tension shows up immediately We’ll see how people react over time.
