Say what you want about it, Kim Kardashian has a good point – it’s never too late to go back to school!
From US:
Kim Kardashian revealed why she chose to study law and defended herself against haters who claim she took the “easy way out” to pursue a career in the legal industry.
“Last year I registered with the California State Bar to study law,” Kardashian, 38, wrote via Instagram on Monday, April 15. “For the next 4 years, a minimum of 18 hours a week is required, I will take written and multiple choice tests monthly.”
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star explained that her first year studying law is “almost coming to an end,” so she is currently preparing to take “the baby bar, a mini version of the bar [exam].”
Kardashian also addressed the people who criticized her for pursuing this career. “I’ve seen some comments from people who are saying it’s my privilege or my money that got me here, but that’s not the case,” she asserted. “One person actually said I should ‘stay in my lane.’ I want people to understand that there is nothing that should limit your pursuit of your dreams, and the accomplishment of new goals. You can create your own lanes, just as I am. The state bar doesn’t care who you are. Everyone can take this route if you live in a state where this is allowed.”
The Selfish author admitted that she “did not finish college,” but “had 75” credits, which is more than what is required to take part in a law apprenticeship. She noted, “For anyone assuming this is the easy way out, it’s not. My weekends are spent away from my kids while I read and study. I work all day, put my kids to bed and spend my nights studying. I changed my number last year and disconnected from everyone because I have made this strict commitment to follow a dream of mine — It’s never too late to follow your dreams.”
