    Her parents told her that she can be only a "doctor, engineer or lawyer"? She definitely has Indian parents who are first generation immigrants. I can bet on it.

      Palash Srivastava she doesn't look indian as she's probably muslim. Looks more like Arabic or south asian like bangladesh or pakistan

      Hahaha. I thought the same.. She must be from Pakistan or India

      BTW muslim population in india is 200 million and pakistan has 190 million Bangladesh has 160 million. So there is huge difference

      First immigration parents do not know many jobs. There are far more interesting and successful career paths but they are limited in their knowledge

    Why did you become a corporate lawyer?
    Her response: I was indoctrinated (brainwashed) by my parents.

    Her best point was the last one, around 8-9 minutes. Those going to law school greatly underestimate how damaging it is to work in a job you hate and is soul-crushing. While you're working hard to fulfill the dreams of others and lining their pockets, life has passed you by. I've always been very realistic and certainly have never been rich, but I will still say there's a lot of merit in doing work that you truly care about it. Lawyers are paper-pushers and as such there's rarely any emotional attachment to our work; while others dream big we keep pushing precedent and bygone rules. My perception may be wrong, and while Sabrina seems content, she's similar to how many lawyers are: no passion or enthusiasm when they talk about their work. Compare this to people who actually create something-- tangible or otherwise--and have followed their dreams, and notice the difference. Years in the legal field and I finally choose the latter.

    • @sosoferney
      @sosoferney Před 7 lety +8

      I agree so much with you on that one. After having studied Law for 4 years (getting my LLB and working as a Paralegal in a law firm while doing my Masters), I realized I was not passionate by it, nor were the lawyers surrounding me every day. I had this utopic vision of the justice system where lawyers were the saviors of human's fate and not just paper-pushers, as you very wisely put it. So now I am changing my career path and going into something completely different, which will probably make less money, but won't make me feel miserable. Props to you for sharing your experience :)

      Hi pls help me make me figure out.. I really liked your ideology. I am at crossroads in my life. I like teaching but it is not very reputated or good moneytarily and i am doing llb but i have no interest in politics, giving opinions on everything or speaking publicly.Should I do llb and then if I dont like it should I do teaching. Please help

    • @mcps93
      @mcps93 Před 6 lety

      Ruchika Soin I know you didn't ask me specifically, but it seems to me you already answered your question. You want to be a teacher but want a nice status and the money. Instead, you are going to do something you don't like. However I do believe that you will be miserable if continue down the path you are leading.

    Diese Videos sind absolut großartig, weil sie mir geholfen, mich gestärkt und motiviert haben, mir das perfekte Abschlussgespräch zwischen mir und meinem (damaligen) zukünftigen Arbeitgeber vorzustellen. Alles, was ich mir vorstellte, manifestierte sich nicht nur ERFOLGREICH in der Besprechung, sondern ich war ABSOLUT ERFOLGREICH darin, die perfekten Arbeitsergebnisse zu schaffen, indem ich die meisten Komplimente/Lob bekam und die wenigsten Fehler machte!

      She's a corporate lawyer, so she's not used to giving a straight answer. Lying likely comes easily to her.
