#036 – This is first of our Midweek Episodes, which feature professional profiles of people in what are considered to be the hottest careers in the next 10 years.
These are not episodes that will take the place of our regular college admission episodes. They will simply add to the content we present to you. These career-focused episodes will appear in the middle of the week. While our regular episodes will continue to be posted on Fridays
Today, we highlight the legal profession. California attorney, Joel Peterson, is in the studio, where he shares information about his upbringing, the role his high school education played in his career, and his experience as an undergrad student in Northern California, at Pacific Union College.
Joel also talks about the business career he enjoyed before going becoming accepted into Western State College of Law, and the willingness of his employer to pay for a portion of his legal education. That is something Joel suggests people take advantage of in the real world. In a very candid manner, Joel shares how, after graduating from law school, his titled changed to Legal Counsel.
This is a great interview for any student to listen to, because Joel gives plenty of general advice, as well as advice to those students interested in becoming attorneys. Towards the end of this episode, Joel name the skills that any person interested in going to law school should have.
