Unless you come from a school with national recognition, you are going to be limited to practicing in the area where you got your degree. I can't get a degree from Suffolk Law in MA and then move to CA to practice. Of course there are exceptions, but its a low value degree.

Right now there are a lot of lawyers in the US and its a pretty bloated field. That might change. That being said, since Passive's father is an attorney, it would be a lot easier for him to find placement as a junior attorney in a firm. Like every other industry, its all about who you know.

Edit: Politics is the field where attorneys go after they get a big enough ego to think their skills apply to all fields in the world. Like people who think that "Logical thinking" allows them to be an expert on any academic discipline.

You should talk to some stand up comics and see what they say. Its a rough field. Maybe do both, get a degree in something and tell jokes on the side.

Everyone in my girl's band has a full time job and plays music on the side.

The funny thing with that name is that it isnt only terrible for people who know what it stands for, it's also terrible for whoever reads that as "thirteen thirty seven mag".

It's only attractive to the middle aged guy who is trying to make money in the scene and thinks it's hip and cool.

Omg, what the fuck are these people doing:

http://esports.garena.ph/newsArticle.php?contentid=00000600&cat=NEWS&subcat=LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

For any events we do, we always want to make sure we are able to have an inclusive environment where no one feels left out, and of course for everybody to enjoy. On this angle, we believed that allowing more to be eligible to join is obviously the answer and as many of our female teams have expressed -- Lesbian, Gay, Transgendered Women members are their friends too. On the other hand, for any competitions, we seriously look at ensuring there's a fair level playing field for all participants. And there are arguments and concerns from other participants who disputes that Lesbian, Gay, Transgendered Women members may probably have some unfair advantage.

Putting all these points into consideration, we wish to experiment on the following changes to be implemented in this 2nd leg:

1) Each team will be allowed to have a maximum of one (1) Gay/Transgendered woman for the entirety of the tournament day. Therefore, teams cannot do the following: Team_A's first game will be 4 female members and 1 gay, then on Team_A's second game, they will have 4 female members and replace with another gay or transgender member.


The only part that is better is the comment section where the confusion is real. And why does it only reference gay/transgender women? Dudes can be gay?

It's a "feminine only" tournament, why would they mention dudes?

I would love to hear the arguments on how being gay/trans is an advantage

they only ref lgbt women cause it's a competition for women, it even says 'Ladies of the League' at the top

the part i don't get is how lgbt women have an 'edge' over straight women

I just like how they start out with: " we always want to make sure we are able to have an inclusive environment where no one feels left out," and then got into some bigoted shit that makes zero sense. And they use transgendered rather than transgender, because they wanted to sound extra ignorant.

At least it is getting the appropriate response of "WTF, really?"

I mean
it's not that hard to see where you could have issues if guys just decided to say "oh I'm a transgender and I identify as a woman" just to play the tournament etc. You can't really tell them "no ur a man" lol. Unless u want to require medical proof or some shit in which case thats an incredible burden of proof to put on people and a form of discrimination in and of itself.

But I don't think that they did a very good job of "handling" that "issue" at all. what the fuck do gay ppl have to do with this?

ps i'm not up to speed on lgbt whatever terminology

Being bi is the best. You like tits but you also have the advantage of being gay.
