Nicole graduated from UC Berkeley in 2008, majored in Spanish. She worked as a paralegal at an employment law firm for 2 years, before deciding that being a lawyer is not for her. She is going to Madrid in 10 days to teach English to los niños. Here she talked about why she didn't go to law school, and the most memorable moment working at the law firm.

  • Quality of life is more important than standard of living. Good choice, Nicole.

  • She speaks truth, It's important to work as said occupation before perusing it full time otherwise it's just a hugh gamble and unlikely to pay off. I'm sure alot off people are meet with disappointment because they took their occupations at 'face value' then came to learn its true reality's. It's like some sick fucking game they've got going on and only reveal after you've jumped through fucking hoops and sold yourself as a debt slave. FUCK COLLEGE!

  • CALLGIRLS MAKE ALOT OF MONEY, MY MOM WAS A PROSTITUTE WHILE SHE ATTENDED BERKELY THATS HOW SHE PAID FOR HER TUITION

  • People should only go to law show if it's a family Business and they are garunteed a job with their families firm. I cant imagine why anyone would want to be a lawyer, you have to argue and fight with people all the time, sounds like a living hell to me,

  • anyone going to lawschool right now is an idiot. To many lawyers are out of a job. All the lawyers that have no jobs are competing against you. Good luck suckers ahahahahaaha

  • The best reason to not go to law school, is because your employment prospects will be dismal once you graduate from law school.

  • @PL585 so what do you do?

  • Spanish literature. may be a good choice. lots of career opportunities in customer service for bilingual.

  • I went to law school because I was intellectually curious about the law and how the business community relies on the legal system. I worked in construction and in construction management for over 20 years before I went to law school, so I was not surprised at my experience there, and I am not disapointed with my career as an attorney, but as for Nicole, I'd say she made a good call. My personality suits the lifestyle of an attorney. I am glad she avoided it if that isn't what she wanted.

  • thank you for posting this video. you are not a bitch. 

  • Law school- The only thing a liberal arts degree is good for.

  • I am convinced there are allot of Lawyers out there who did it because they want to keep their parents happy, keep up the prestige for the family etc. And hate every living minute of it. Go to work and stare at themselves in the bathroom mirror going "why did i do this".

    Live your life not your Parents.
