Lessons I Learned the Hard Way from Going to Law School - Part 4

Here's the fourth of 5 lessons I learned from my law school experience that you can apply right now as you search for an alternative career:

I didn’t want to be on Law Review (it sounded boring) but I knew it was prestigious, so I opted to compete anyway. That week I had my first migraine…for the next three days. The moment I dropped off my law review writing samples the migraine lifted.

Lesson #4: If you are an HSP (“Highly Sensitive Person”) or heck, maybe even if you’re not, your body will tell you when your work is not a good fit. I suggest you heed it. (By the way, I didn’t make Law Review and once I got over being hurt about being rejected, I was relieved.)
