What do I want to do when I grow up? Ever since I've watched TV show suits, I wanted to be like Harvey Specter. He's a prominent, young partner at a law firm in NYC, who has never lost in a trial. He sort of became my role model, and I'm going to strive as hard as I could to emulate and eventually surpass him.
Today, I hopped around different law firms. Well actually I found number one law firm in Korea (Kim & Chang, LLC) and one in America which I can't remember the name on top of my head. So I went to the website, looked at the profiles of bunch of partners there and there was one common thing I was able to observe. No matter how old they are, where they are from, most of the partners had graduated from whats so called 'good schools.' Like my dad told me a while ago, I guess graduating from a prestigious school is really an important thing. Maybe it functions as a filter that screens certain people. Maybe its an invisible measurement that gauges people's abilities. But regardless of its function, I guess it really means something to them. And at the same time, since it is required to all the high paying positions, it seemed like it was a definite key to the success. So, I hope I get into both schools I've applied to, because it's more likely that it will guarantee my success in the future!
