The Best Answer I've Heard to "How did you end up in law school?"

"I read 'What Colour is Your Parachute?' and did all of the exercises, the journal entries and everything, and I talked to some of my parents' friends who are lawyers, and it seemed like the right thing for me." It just seems like such a thoughtful way to approach finding a way to be in the world. If you don't have that "I know in my gut what I should be doing with my life," I think this is the next best thing.
