Kim Kardashian is Pursuing a Career in Law, And That’s, Apparently, Not Good Enough Either
She’s not the only woman facing criticism for pursuing something other than modeling.
Kim Kardashian, the daughter of a prominent attorney, has decided to pursue a legal apprenticeship in lieu of attending law school so that by 2022, she’ll be eligible to take the Bar exam.
She’s facing backlash over the decision, and I really do not understand why. After facing plenty of criticism for her other life choices, and after being told to “do something” with her life, she decides to do something relatively honorable and is met with even more disapproval.
Much of the criticism comes from the fact that she will not be earning a law degree, but California does not require attorneys to have law degrees if they complete an intensive 4-year apprenticeship and pass the Bar. Plenty of people skip law school and take the apprenticeship route, so why can’t she?
She has been told to “stay in her lane”, despite the fact that she has spent years being vilified for staying in her lane.
