Hi everyone. I'm a current college freshman with eyes set on becoming a lawyer. I'm looking for any advice whatsoever. I have a 4.0 gpa, and I am already making great progress on the lsat. I decided to start studying early in order to get a score as close to 180 as possible. I believe I took a smart route by starting off at a community college and going the transfer route. I'll graduate with my BA completely debt free with money in the bank! Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

Keep the 4.0 and get a 180 on the LSAT. Good luck.

You really don’t need to study for the LSAT now, focus on school and try to figure out another career to make progress on in summers when you are in college. You are just starting to learn what it’s like to be an adult and being a lawyer is very hard. Give yourself an alternative. It will also help make you a better lawyer.

Why do you want to be a lawyer? Serious question.

I was a runner for a law firm throughout a bulk of high school. I loved it. I also love to read and write. I also like the sound of my own voice, and I'm slightly neurotic too lol.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles. I believe that one PM role is preferred in the industry and most modern software companies, especially FAANG companies, only have PMs. Just curious what others have experienced and if I'm correct in my assumption.
