The post law-school push.

So - here I am, three weeks after the end of law school, trying to find a job into which I might invest some of the skills I've obtained. Of course, while it's easy to take out student loans and hand over huge amounts of cash to a university, it's infinitely harder to see any return on your investment without either:

a) Performing oral favors,
b) Being "tied in" to a social network of attorneys, or
c) Hog tying the dean of Harvard, forcing him to write a recommendation, and trusting he'll verify my credibility when contacted.

As you can see, neither option is very probable. After all, man-on-man action is best left to the west coast, braggery and idiocy typically do not permeate my social circle, and I'm terrible with tying knots.

So, in the meantime, I've resorted to "other avenues" of getting work. And, to be honest... I've come across a lot more than I ever thought I would.

The job which I'm crossing my fingers over, the "creme-de-la-creme" of post-school employment, is the game analyst position for which I applied.

I'd be lying if I said the prospect of helping produce video games didn't tickle the youthful, enthusiastic fanboy inside of me. I've been playing games since I was a kid, and have always dreamt of having some hand in bringing ideas and concepts to light.

Of course, I never imagined that it would be happening two years into school, but... the best things never seem to happen when you need or expect them to. I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that I get the job, but am slightly apprehensive at the notion that I might fall too in love with it if I get it; something that will throw my entire career path in limbo.

Oh well, I've got time. Let's just see what happens.
