Ambitions

It's been a while, and if you are a regular reader I apologize! I've been quite busy since I returned from my exciting summer working in DC for a top law enforcement agency. It was wonderful, but I was definitely happy to return to the land of easy commutes and family. I found the summer quite empowering, however, in that I was able to transition to a new place, a new work place, and a new social scene easily. I did have some friends in the area, which certainly helped.

I absolutely loved my experience in DC, and I think it will add infinitely to my future career. It's also opened my eye to many career paths I might not have considered.

I don't graduate until December, but I am thinking ahead to what kind of career I'd like when I am finished. A few of the areas I am definitely exploring include the following:

County Prosecution
Navy JAG
Federal Agency work
Federal Agent work

This is not exhaustive, but it is where I am currently aiming, and where I think my skills could be best used. I am also studying Arabic to maximize my desirability to the Federal government should I go in that direction.

A recession is a tough time to enter the job market, but I have a multi-pronged approach planned. Honestly, as long as I am challenged, getting experience in a courtroom, and working for some governmental entity, I think I will count myself lucky come May!
