So I'll first things first. Hi, I'm Cody. I'm Laura. It's nice to meet you. Lawrence. I got to what you know as being a quartered, okay? Great. I got a question. I'm currently a freshman majoring in criminal justice with people's fates, okay? And I want to my end goal is to officially become a little bit of defense to the right. Okay? What advice would you give a back to your real going into? Be very careful. Being a lawyer is almost nothing like what you think it is. It is nothing about like the TV or like books or like everything you make sure that 90% of being a lawyer is moving one appointment for one day on your calendar to another day on your calendar, knowing that you're never going to have that meeting. The reason why I caution you is law school is expensive like average a quarter million dollars expensive, right? So law school is a very long drawn out and expensive way to spend three years trying to find true push. Yeah, law schools are really expensive way to find yourself. It takes three years to cost about four billion dollars. And I need you to understand that the starting salary for an attorney like even here in Georgia, it's like 55 grand for your first job, right? It's not a very profitable endeavor. You can make a lot of money at it when you're in it, but you're not going to start out. And in your chosen profession, if you want to do like civil rights and criminal law, get paid upfront. It's really hard to write a check from prison.
