HFA/Asperger and Big Law
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 3:06 pm
I am new to these forums, but I am a 1L at a lower T14, and I am wondering what are the prospects for someone with Asperger Syndrome in a large law firm.
I've recently learned that law firms send their summer associates to social events and grade them on their performance there, and beyond this, the more I hear about careers in law, the more I wonder if I picked the wrong career.
I have a full-ride (will graduate with no debt) at my law school, so I suppose I could drop out with nothing lost. I am also thinking tax law might be a good bet (but I stupidly majored in History). I have the option at my school of adding a Master of Professional Accounting between my 2nd and 3rd years.
Do you guys think that tax law is a better bet for someone with social deficits like Asperger, or should I just drop out?
