My best pal as well as I both graduated with degrees, however we went in two separate ways after graduation.
I got started with writing articles for a newspaper while he made the move to apply to law school.
Our respective managers worked us like crazy in the beginning. And he has consistently made more per hour than I could ever hope to achieve, but I don’t easily feel envious or jealous about it. Honestly, I don’t even know how I could take on the huge amount of stress from some of the court cases he faces regularly. His reputation is always put on the line when he takes a truly difficult case that threatens various people involved, either physically or financially. A lot of the time he is doing cases that involve families exploding into chaos while warring over inheritances from a recently deceased relative. He says it’s totally heart wrenching at times, even if a certain party is easily in the wrong. Regardless, he has a duty to fulfill the expectations of his job as an honest as well as even-handed lawyer. Given, my task as a news reporter mostly involves me harassing people to get a story, however I’ll take that particular burden over my friend’s any day of the week. I know the two of us found a task that the two of us are each wonderful at independently. He has a pretty good sized amount of stress to deal with each day, however he says that he never regrets his career choice in the least. He relishes the enjoyable cases where he gets to help someone who is grossly marginalized as well as has no help of any sort. When he can supply a person with help as well as assistance that literally saves their life, he feels pretty much like he has made a wonderful contribution to our society. I’m truly proud that he has the strength to do things like that.
