what to do...internationally?

Years ago, oh so many years ago, when I was studying International Law in undergrad, not by choice, mind you. It was a choice between International Law and Conflict Resolution, and the Conflicts professor used to give out the highest grade as a B I had to jump to International Law not by choice. So I wasn't so into it. I was not a studious student, half there, half giggly in class, not interested in buying the International law texts that cost a bundle, just not into it. So my professor called me after class and asked ever so softly,

"What's your name?"

And I replied. Then, he began,

"Why are you not interested in this class?"

He had noticed. I responded, in that I am young, hopeful and snarky tone,

"I am not really interested in what happens in other countries."

Yes, I was once young and nonchalant about my career.

Hmmm...that statement has come back to haunt me, what, 11 years later. Now, I would kill to have a career in International Law. The things you say in your youth, I don't know what type of career I was expecting for myself, but I suppose it was not a career in International Law. And as I have grown, tried and tested so many careers, and studied it indepth through the areas of Employment law, International Arbitration and International Tax Law, I cannot imagine a legal career without it, without it being my central area of focus.

I just don't know what I was thinking. Every time I, in hope, apply for a position in the international spectrum, and I get rejected, I wonder, that statement has come back to bite me in the ass.

So, if you're still around Dr. Okere, I sincerely apologize. I am interested in what happens in other countries. Trust me, I am.
