So i'm doing some summer clerkship applications and i'm stuck in the first step of application. I cant answer some of the bullshit questions. I have listed the questions below and what I think they are looking for. Any suggestions/ways of phrasing/whatever would be awesome. I also posted what i really think.

1. What has prompted you to pursue a career in commercial law? Please provide examples if possible.

What they are after: I am interested in the obligation businesses have to consumers. Business transactions are part of our lives blah blah blah. Example is that time i was ripped off by EB with this trade 3 games for Smash bros brawl and i tried to swap 3 wii sports and they said no and i shoved the Trade Practices Act in their face and they crumbled.

Real answer: Not really, i'm in it for the experience and money (as in they pay me 25 bux an hr for it). Finance has better future prospects but all the investment banks didn't even bother with me because its a fucking bear market and they are cutting staff and restructuring left and right.

What areas of law particularly interest you and how have you come to develop that interest?*

Interested in property and litigation, have previous experience doing internships at small boutique law firms to pursue this 'passion'. For property i conveyed my parents house with guidance from principal solicitor. Litigation wise i was always interested in attending court / court processes etc etc. Have done some work at local court with pro bono solicitor.

Real answer: anything that might help me out in the future i guess. Not actually interested in an area of law. I like boston legal?

These are the two questions i have problems with. Please don't comment if you are just going to say 'zomg dont do something you dont enjoy/ruining your life'.

Remember what you're doing this for. Oh right, the money. Okay, that's fine.

But consider what the hiring staff is looking for. They're looking for someone who's going to do the job well. And a genuine interest in the field is a pretty good indicator of how committed you're going to be. Together with school grades or recommendations from previous bosses, which should tell you how capable you are if you are committed, they can decide if you're going to help.

If you really have no interest in the field but still want the job, bullshit it and hope for the best. I'd suggest looking into it until you really do have something that makes you go "huh.... that's cool, how exactly does it work?" It will make it a lot more enjoyable.
Compilers are like boyfriends, you miss a period and they go crazy on you.
