Anything you do will help people. Lawyer gives people a service, politics gives many people a service but can be hard and you may be hated. Sociology is a strange one. I do sociology as part of my degree and it seems none of them know anything of real society.

What business would you start?

Yeah from what I have learned in my sociology classes it is about the real society…it a lot of abstract thinking though and no one is an individual.

I have really interested in Advertising/Marketing or something like and organization that would help people in the U.S. specifically in the US to begin. Because I think if you want to fix something you have to start from the inside out. (if that makes sense)

I’d take your parents up on that offer to go find your path. Why not go do something to relax? You may not get the chance to do that again. If you want to help out why not join up with the peace corps or something? It sounds to me like you really want to make a difference; go see what needs changing.

Lol, I have applied to the peace corps; I have also (been accepted) to a internship with the secret service (did that because it helps protect people in the US from threats). But with everything I decide to do, I feel as though there is something bigger that I am supposed to do and I stop doing what I was doing before

What does the brain part of you want to do? Maybe that’s what you should listen to.

My brain is telling me to help people; but there are so many things I want to do and they all involve helping people. But with with each one of those things i have a “feeling” that is only a small part of what I am supposed to, I feel there is something more

I am taking them up on the offer; I just was not sure if I should go somewhere to relax or not.

why not become a lawyer, and work in the public defenders office for a bit, before starting your own defense attorney business….and entering politics. Many politicians start off as attorneys.

That would be the perfect plan but I am no defense attorney; I would rather prosecute (DA’s office)

I was thinking DA… but then you said you wanted to help people… that would be a defense attorney right? But on the other hand… the DA’s office would be a quicker route into politics I would think.

Yea defense attorney’s “help” people and usually convinces a jury to let guilty people go (so in reality you are not helping people because you are allowing people who committed crimes go free) in the DA you have the say in who to take to trail and I guess that could be helping people too by taking “bad” people off the streets….

But being a DA doesn’t “feel” right (maybe you gotta start somewhere and you’ll end up where you are supposed to be
