Guilty as charged. A long time ago a wise older friend dissuaded me from becoming a policeman. The reason, a good cop must be able to think like a criminal, both to catch them and to protect themselves from them. He knew I could not.
I sadly understood that he was right. I became an engineer and dabbled in observing legal issues and the reasons that things didn't work the way they were supposed too. I slowly caught on and finally did gain the ability to think like a criminal lawyer.
funny, I went to school and got my chemical engineering degree, stayed at home for 19 years with the kids, got an elementary teaching degree, I love to teach but the administrations of the districts need some tweeking, so now I'm taking law classes.
