I represent health care insurers and governmental entities in complex litigation matters.
80-90% of what I do is healthcare litigation focused around health care providers vs. insurance plans. I sit in on a lot of arbitrations, which is essentially like going to court, but instead of in a courtroom it takes place in a conference room and instead of a judge, you deal with an arbitrator. If I'm in the office, I deal with upwards of 40-50 cases at a time. I have to keep track of deadlines for those cases and plan everything. I also get about 100 emails a day that requires attention.

It's ok to not have everything figured out in your 20's. To get out of feeling rudder-less, you have to put your head down, commit, and work through that tough time. Do everything you can to create opportunities for yourself and establish a direction. Don't wait for things to happen to you, you have to keep going.
