....well not exactly quitting studying altogether. but let me start at the beginning
i'm studying law in the sixth semester (out of nine....after that i'd have to do two years of legal clerkship, so basically i have 3 1/2 years to go before i could start working as an attorney or judge or whatever).
now, the thing is, i don't enjoy it....at ALL. i just don't see myself working as a judge or DA for the rest of my life.
for the last 2 years i've been thinking about studying to become a teacher, at a grammar school to be more precise. the more i think about it, the more i'm sure that i want to do this...but the fact that i've already spent 3 years studying law, and that i'd be almost 30 years old before i could start working and start earning money (i'm 23 right now) if i changed subjects now keeps me hesitating. but then again, NOW would be the right time, otherwise i think it will be too late really....
it's a really really tough decision for me, having to start all over again, and throwing away 3 years of work. but then again, what's 3 years compared to the rest of your life? and i just can't picture me doing law stuff over and over...unlike teaching.
maybe i should have done this much sooner....but now things are the way they are, there's no turning back.
tbh i'd love to work professionally in the audio realm, but let's be realistic, the chances that you can feed a family by doing this stuff are devastatingly low. being a teacher comes in second in my wish-list so to speak....
btw, if i studied to become a teacher i'd earn pretty much the same as i'd do working as a judge, but the difference is that only like 5% of the law graduates get a chance to work as a judge (which i'd like to do if i continued studying law), whereas being a civil servant is more like the rule than the exception when being a teacher.
guys i'm sooo fucking close to calling it quits on my law studies....
