 So yesterday Twitter was blowing up because Kim Kardashian West says that she wants to be a lawyer by the year 2020. So in this video, we're going to talk about it. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, sometimes what I like to do is pull different topics from the news or pop culture or what's trending and try to see what lessons we can learn from it. So if you're new to that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And yeah, I actually had a long time subscriber DM me about this, but I saw it going on on Twitter yesterday. I'm like, what's going on with this? But anyways, one of my subscribers, they're actually a lawyer. So I was like, okay, I'll look into it a little bit. So I started browsing around on Twitter and seeing what this article was about. There's like articles about the article that Vogue did on Kim Kardashian. And here's the little lowdown of it. So Kim Kardashian in a recent Vogue article talks about how she wants to be a lawyer by the year 2022. And basically she's been doing a lot of reading and she talked in an interview about like some tests that she's taken and the different types of law and all of that. And she's been interested in it. So those of you who don't know Kim Kardashian's father was actually one of the lawyers in the OJ Simpson trial way back in the day. Some of you are too young to remember this trial. Hell, I was young when that trial was going on. But her father was part of that trial and she talked about in that article how she was just really interested in law and all of that. And now she's like reading and studying. And basically what she's trying to do is what some might deem as a shortcut path. So as with many things in different states, the laws are different, okay? So something that's mentioned in the article that I'll link down below is that in the state of California, like you don't need this like huge big degree to become I believe what they call a law reader, okay? So this has upset a lot of people. Some people are just trolling. But anyways, what I like to do when I look at these situations going on in our society, seeing what's upsetting people, seeing why people are upset. Like something that helps me like with developing empathy is trying to get inside the mind or the mindset of people who are upset by these types of things, right? Because, you know, for me personally, I sit there and I'm like, okay, Kim Kardashian wants to become a lawyer. I don't really care. But people do care, right? And I've just always been fascinated with human nature and our thought processes and like the human mind and psychology and all that stuff. So I'm sitting there and I'm trying to look at the different reasons why people are upset about this. So one of them is like, for example, the subscriber who deems me about this. Like she's a lawyer, right? And I've talked to her a bit and she's put in a lot of work. And I've talked to her about law school and everything. There was a lot of work and a lot of effort going into that. So for people who practice law or are in law school or have graduated law school, I see people looking at this like and getting upset about it, right? Because for some people, like it can seem like a slap in the face. Like a slap in the face like, oh, you think you could do what I did, right? Like you think that you can just waltz in here, read some books, pass a test and you could do this, right? And I think some of that, you know, affects like our pride even. Just like, you know, I would imagine just even me upsetting some licensed mental health professionals with the type of content that I've done because they've put so much time in schooling and invested a lot of money into their degrees. So I can see how they can get upset. Like, oh, this guy can just make a YouTube channel, read some books. I think he knows everything about mental health. And by the way, that's not how I'm trying to come up. I'm just really interested in this stuff. I'd like to share what I've learned with other people. And I can see why people who have practiced law get upset about this. The other thing too that I'm really trying to recognize like what's going on in our society right now is the college admission scandal, OK? That's a whole thing I didn't do a video about. But the college admission scandal with Aunt Becky, like that is a big issue too. Because basically, one of the reasons people are so, so, so upset about that is because the privileged get way more opportunities than the average person, all right? So with the college admission scandal, it's just come up like through an FBI investigation, everything like that, that these rich, famous parents were paying their kids' way into these prestigious colleges. And there's a bunch of mail fraud and false information and everything like that. And for the average person, like most people in the United States, this isn't the way things go, right? There's a lot of work, a lot of effort. You've got to hope that you get a scholarship. So I understand why society is really, really, really upset about this. So when people are looking at Kim Kardashian talking about being a lawyer, a lot of people are seeing this woman who pretty much became famous just for being her, right? Like no great achievements or accomplishments or anything like that. And now she's just gonna practice law. Like what is this, right? Because the average person doesn't have that opportunity. You know what I mean? Like one of the things is I get a lot of people who are like, well, why don't you just go back to school? Why don't you go back to school? Like I hate to break it to you, but school costs a lot of money, a lot of money. And not everybody wants to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt or tens of thousands of dollars in debt or even just thousands of dollars in debt. You know what I mean? And I, so I can definitely relate to that when you see people who are already just, you know, or even born with this silver spoon in their mouth. That's one of the reasons why a lot of people got upset with Kim Kardashian's little sister. Can't remember if it was Kendall or Kylie. Was it Kylie Jenner who was like the self-made, like, you know, richest young woman or whatever. And like a lot of people disagree with that because she was born into, you know, a wealthy family. She had opportunities that the average person didn't have. So before I dive a little bit more deep into this, and one thing that I will say, like I always try to like be an optimist about these situations and I try to see, okay, what good is Kim Kardashian doing, right? What good can come out of this? And for example, like she met with Donald Trump and got somebody released from prison who was in there for some BS charges and everything like that. That's kind of cool. And that might have ignited her idea to get into the law field, right? But I also think, you know, there's some positives because it can let people know, some people know that like, no matter where you're at in life, you can go back to school or you can pursue a new passion or whatever it is and do that thing. Like a lot of people, like I meet a lot of people who are like, I'm too old to do this. I can't do this anymore, da, da, da, da, like, and I don't believe in that. I don't believe in that in one bit because I was a drug addict and alcoholic for about a decade of my life and it was from 18 to my 27th birthday. I wasted a lot of years and now I'm just now doing something with my life. You know what I mean? And I'm 33 years old now. So I meet people who are in their early 20s who are like, I don't know what to do and you know what I mean? And I'm just like, like chill with that stuff. Like you have plenty of time to figure out what you wanna do and pursue something. Now, don't get me wrong. Like I've already mentioned that everybody is gonna have the financial opportunities that Kim Kardashian has to pursue certain things. So what is the solution? What is the solution to this for people who are upset about this? The one thing that I will say and I like I've mentioned and I've touched on a little bit like I'm gonna be talking about politics. Like there are some candidates who promote free college. Like think about that for a second. Like that would solve a lot of the issues. Now I'm not gonna dive into the whole economics of it and where's the money gonna come from and all this other stuff, right? But it's just something to think about because I've just always been of the belief, not always but since working on my mental health and my own anger issues and all these other things is like one of the things I say at the beginning of every videos and we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. Like sitting here complaining about Kim Kardashian becoming a lawyer is getting absolutely nothing done. Like find candidates who support the views that you think that should be out there, right? Like maybe free college so more people it's an even playing field. Like think about that kind of stuff and get your butt out there and vote. Like you know what I mean? Like a lot of us waste far too much time focusing on the things that we have absolutely no control over. And if we would just harness that energy into thinking about possible solutions. And for me when it comes to Kim Kardashian wanting to become a lawyer, I'm sitting here and thinking like this does not affect me in any way, shape or form if Kim Kardashian becomes a lawyer. Now, again, trying to get into the mindset of people who are upset about this. It's like, yeah, a lawyer is a pretty like important job, right? Like you wouldn't want somebody becoming like a doctor in like a couple of years. You know what I mean? But like I could see that kind of risk or danger. So it's like, what can you do? Hyper focus on what you can do. What can you do about that? What can you do about that? Can you vocalize this? Can you look at like California laws and the easy path to becoming a lawyer? Is that something that needs to be reformed? What are the solutions? You know, start getting into that mindset because if not, we're just stuck in the problem and we're not finding anything that could possibly make the situation any better. But if you're like me and you just, it's not really affecting you, you do you baby. All right? But anyways, let me know your thoughts on this whole situation down in the comments below. Let me know why you think it's affecting you. Like if you leave a comment that says it's just not fair, like I want you to dive deeper into that and say, why is it not fair? What is the root cause of this issue? Right? Because something I had to learn a long, long time ago which helped me a lot is realizing life isn't fair. The world doesn't owe me anything and all I can do is what I can do. All right? But anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up.
