Questions That I Dread (Part 2)

In my last post, I said there are two questions that I dread.  I talked through my answer to "what kind of law do you want to practice?" but didn't get to "why law school?"

I think "why law school?" is the question I dread more, mostly because I have yet to figure out how to articulate my answer.

Questions That I Dread (Part 1)

There are two questions that I've come to dread, and inevitably one or both are asked whenever someone finds out that I'm going to law school.  They're related but distinct questions.  The first is "So what kind of law do you want to do?"  The second is "Why law school?"

The easy answer to "what kind of law?" is that I know enough to know that I don't know enough to know for certain.  By this I mean that I know where my interests lie, and I know what I geek out over, but I also know that I may discover that geeking out over something may not translate well into enjoying working in that field.  I also know that I may discover that I hate something I currently think that I love or that I love something that I don't have much interest in or, for that matter, that I don't even know exists.
