Sometimes you have to lower your standards. I have this friend and she really, really wants to be a lawyer, but she doesn't have much going on upstairs (and I mean that in the nicest way). The reason she wants to be a lawyer is that "she likes to argue, and figures she'd be good at it". She's really shy and can't stand talking in front of a large group of people. She's just not suited to becoming a lawyer. Yet it's her dream. Eventually, she'll have to settle for something more realistic. I'm hoping that her dream job will change once she takes the introductory legal courses.
