When it Becomes a Deadly Profession

They say that any profession can be deadly if you are at the wrong time and at the wrong place.  Being a lawyer multiplies that probability don't you think?  Being a lady lawyer is another challenge.

In past months,  news from ISIS-held parts in Syria reported about three female lawyers being executed just for one reason -- being educated.  Sad news but if this is true, this is one of the cases when being a lady lawyer becomes liability.  The lady lawyers are said to have previously run for elective posts before the fundamentalists took over their areas.

It is a fact that the practice of legal profession is rife and involved with extreme emotions from both sides of the fence,  why would they go to court in the first place if the feeling is otherwise.  Being prepared if you are a female, male, from LGBT, is therefore a must in such a case.

It is best to be always ready, get some sort of protection especially if you are a lady lawyer.  This is not about violence, this is about protecting yourself when the need arises.  I am not talking about guns (though that can be really handy),  I am talking about arming yourself with real self-defense training even without the use of a weapon.

I am not a lawyer yet,  but boy, I will do every thing possible to protect myself if and when I do become one.  There are a lot of martial arts classes women can talk which can do on weekends or even night after work. I took one before, it is an Israeli army based style of self-defense. It was fun and a great learning experience that I would advise every female law student should take.

These are tough times and it won't get any better, I can assure you that.

Looking for a Travelling Lawyer Job

Travel bug.

One of my simplest wish is to find a job that would make me hop on a plane at least once a month.  No,  not domestic,  but international!  Don't get me wrong because I don't want to live in a suitcase,   I simply want to breathe different air and culture regularly.  (My ultimate dream job is one that allows me to jump off a plane in a sleek skydiving suit, but since there is no such thing as a Skydiving Lawyer,  I better stick to my front -- the Travelling Lawyer part.lol)  

They often say that if you want to live a happy life,  you have to find your passion.  After finding that passion,  find a way to make a living out of it, that is the only way to have a wonderful existence.   So all I could think about is to find a job that will allow me to travel.

I used to think that becoming a lawyer will bring me closer to that dream, oh-oh! Maybe... maybe not,  depending on how I look at it.   Is there even a Travelling Lawyer job?  What are the options?   How about being a lawyer for an airline, hmmn  maybe.   Perhaps a lawyer for a world wide hotel chain with presence in all continents?  How about being a Cyber Security Attorney (is there even one?). Yeah, I am making that last one up.

A few weeks back, I read about this woman who is a notorious plane stow away.  She manages to sneak on a plane without tickets,  can you imagine?!  She would sometimes get away with it but last time she was arrested however, this did not stop her from doing it over and over again.  I thought, cool that must have been her dream activity,  illegal, aye!

Someone said that your thoughts often become your reality...
My thoughts must have pissed off the universe and the heavens (btw, are they 2 different things?) because I have a feeling that my 'hopping on planes' dream job could happen sooner,  law degree or not!   I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
