personal statement 2

A laywer when I was younger was someone I knew was there, but never dealt with in any capacity. When I was thinking about careers it was very narrow, I knew that almost anything I went to college for I would have to leave my hometown to practice, the options were daunting, finally I used the things that I enjoyed or were good at to come up with a couple options, art or math/computer programming. During my studies further options continued to come to light, I began having difficulty focusing on my degree, there was something missing from my field. At that point I began looking into other programs, engineering, architecture, interior design, business, and intellectual property law. When school was just beginning I began to push the humanities program to offer a class in contracts, as art professionals many of us would needs this information, the class began to engage me in a deeply intellectual way something that was missing from my current studies. The farther I got in college the more I thought that my current studies may not be fore me, despite this fact I continued to pursue my degree being only two semesters from my BFA. What you do in college is not always a clear representation of what you may be doing in the professional environment, While I still hold this to be true, the professionals environment satisfied me even less than school did. I feel like what I'm doing just simply is not enough, There is a huge world outside these doors, I should be doing something to effect it in a profound way, I believe being a lawyer gives me an opportunity to do just that, also to sate my need for challenge.
