The truth is, In America, If you are not native or moved here over 20's. It is hard to pursue a law career. I am not discouraging you. Too many of my friends ( native Americans) went pursue a law degree because their undergraduate degree could not land them a good job. Here are some examples. one of them with a Forestry undergraduate degree and the other went to the strangest collage- America-Sarah Lawrence College, where Yoko Ono( John Lennon's wife) attended (The college doesn't set up major but offers all kinds of curriculums students can choose among at their will). years ago, When I was driven around by friends and showed a lot of mega mansions in US east coast. I had a itch to become a lawyer. My friends are telling me that I need to grow up in the country and surrounded by all the culture impact my whole life, then I can think about it. That is true. the legal system here is very complex. for example, the court and the police each can make separate decisions. and you need to know the history of all phenomena such as civil rights movement, woman's rights, co-existence of religions and racial issue.
You can help Chinese Americans here after you graduate, but most Chinese Americans I encountered are model citizens. They would never violate any regulations. Or you can work for Chinese Mafia or against them if you are brave.
I had the same dream as a lot of Chinese before I came to American. I was young at the time and I am ambitious and hard working and pretty smart-according to all my friends. I worked hard here for over 10 years. However, It is undeniable that I could never compare to native Americans. they have privilege on every thing. All I can do is to swallow the bitter feeling and bury it. |
