Loaf of advice

So, I'm at the grocery store picking up some sour dough for dinner. The woman in line behind me sees my school ID and decides to talk to me for quite some time about how great it is that I'm going to be a lawyer. My initial thought was "Dude, I just want to go home and have a glass of wine." But, it was nice to finally hear someone outside my circle of comfort encourage my choice rather than tell me I was going to end up miserable and unfulfilled. Her parting words of advice "Just remember when someone tells you a lawyer joke, here's how you respond: It's easy to laugh at lawyers until you realize you need one." Thanks A!
