Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
Are you sure you want to leave the legal field after all the time and energy you put into that education?
How I responded:
You have to know what's right for you. What other people think you should be doing isn't important if you know that you should be doing something else. Also, don't continue to sink more time and energy into something just because you've already made an investment. Don't let what you're currently doing be the reason for not doing something that's a better fit.
