When I was a kid I wanted to be a lawyer
That's great, I actually became a lawyer.  What kept you from going through with law school?
I decided to pursue another type of education instead, it was not a good financial decision in my case.
That's too bad.  Maybe you could be like Mike Ross from the TV show "suits" he doesn't have a law degree, but he still practices!
What how is that possible lol, is that even legal?
No, not at all.  He works for a guy named Harvey Specter that helps him hide the fact that he is actually a college dropout.  I don't recommend it.  Probably pretty hard to pull off!
