That is the $200,000 question. What indeed. Get a job, pay off my huge student debt, and maybe help some people in the process.

    My “now what” thought came the day after I took the bar exam. It was the first time in over three years I did not have to even think about studying, reading, or writing. It made me depressed; very depressed. I was so focused on the goal of taking the big scary bar that I really did not think about what I would do when I finished it.

    When I received my passing bar results my “now what” became a “NOW WHAT” panic. I was a lawyer. But what was I going to do with it. Where would I go? Oh, what ever would become of me? (Yes, I am a bit dramatic.) I liked to think of myself as a legal Mary Poppins. Go where I am needed and stay until the wind changes. However, that did not answer my “Now What.”

    Now, I am stuck pondering the “Now What.” I am not sure how to attack it. Where am I going in the legal world? And how am I getting there? In the mean time, I have decided to write down my thoughts and observations about the legal world that surrounds me. During this process, I hope to answer my “Now What” and fend off any more of those pesky little “Now Whats.”
