@krissakray Depends on your goals. Put very simply, if your home loan has 2% interest and you put your extra money into the S&P, which has a low avg. return of 6%, you would see a 4% profit return in the difference between your home loan interest and your S&P investment + home appreciation.

@MetamateDaz I was 24 with a socy degree and working 2 retail jobs. Got a master's in data analytics and 3 industry certs. Kept building and was making 120k per year within 5 years. Unfortunately, nobody is coming to save you, so put in the strategic work. You can do this!

@ThrillaRilla369 Once you hit rock bottom you literally have nothing to lose. Use that as fuel to take positive risks that can potentially change your life for the better. Go to school, start that business, etc. Worse thing that can happen already did so you might as well send it!

(4/4) You don’t have to practice law. A JD is versatile. Compliance, policy, business, and even data/AI governance are all on the table. Think beyond Big Law and position yourself for the career you want.

Thinking about law school? Here’s what I wish I knew before starting. A thread 🧵👇 (1/4)

Law school isn’t just about intelligence. It’s about endurance. The workload is relentless, and success comes from consistency, not just brilliance.

[L. Brooks @LanceBrooks92]

(3/4) Networking is more important than grades in most cases. Top firms care about ranking, but many legal jobs come from relationships. Go to events, connect with professors, and build your reputation early. Your network will open more doors than a perfect GPA.

I'm officially 2 months out from graduating law school! How crazy is that?

Grateful for what's to come. My next goal will be to fully step into what I've been preparing for!

[L. Brooks @LanceBrooks92]

One of the most difficult experiences in my professional life has been delaying gratification and hoping that my ROI comes through.

[L. Brooks @LanceBrooks92]

Navigating the crossroads of #DataScience and #Law has been a test of true #grit. Each challenge overcome, each late night conquered, is a testament to the power of relentless resilience fueled by passion. Grit isn’t just about enduring, it's about passionately striving.

@lifeofshaay_ Trust me, it can be worth it. I increased my salary by 400% from 2017 - 2021 by getting a masters degree. Do it!

[L. Brooks @LanceBrooks92]

@_BushidoB_ I manage delayed gratification by establishing a clear end goal and a clear path to reach said end goal. This tactic helped me complete multiple degrees and triple my salary. Let me know if I can help you in any way Bro!

[L. Brooks @LanceBrooks92]

@DeuceLRiley Keep promoting yourself on LinkedIn too, bro! The world needs to know what black excellence looks like!
