Why do elite colleges pump students into the same five industries: law, medicine, tech, investing, and management consulting?
For answers, let’s turn to the philosopher René Girard.
@drjenwolkin I quit my job as a lawyer this year to finally explore what my inner child always wanted (film and the arts) and made a short film about this decision. Thank you so much for doing the work you do

In May, I quit my job as a lawyer to start working in film 🎥
I made this 5min short about this decision to leave.
If you’ve ever experienced burnout, or questioned all your life decisions, or yearned to be creative… I hope this speaks to you ❤️

@courtdoc I’ve met 3 ex-police officers (one with PTSD) in film already - all actors! They said it was so healing to go to a space that encouraged/supported them to feel - after having to shut down their emotions for so long. All of them seem to be thriving in the arts ❤️
@1elevatoronly Last thing! While I was deep in the pits about what I should do, a counsellor recommended this book. Using personality type - it identifies strengths and weaknesses, and recommends elements you should look for in a job to maximize self-fulfilment and efficacy.
@1elevatoronly If there’s something you used to love as a kid / teenager - I can’t recommend taking a class or joining a low commitment group enough! (Preferably in person)
@JHuggler The profession is so lucky to have you. I love hearing from lawyers who love their jobs and have found a way to thrive amidst all the stress and chaos of the job. Thank you so much for watching and sharing this ❤️
@legalytical Thank you so much Jennifer ❤️
Haha!! Amazing - I will add your name to my list. I want to learn how to apply for grants and secure investors, so I can pay cast / crew properly on my next projects 😉
