Re: What Drives You?
I'm 16, noone was able to hire a 15 year old with a B.A. in Physics. I figured I'll be 17 when I finish law school and 18 when I get my LLM.

Re: What Drives You?
in the grand scheme: need to make money for elderly/sick parents, enjoy intellectual challenge + air conditioning (did blue collar work for a while), being able to retire when i'm 45 and pursue a second career without fretting about surviving, etc.
during final exams: all the people who told me i wasn't good enough/didn't belong/didn't think i could hack it, and the looks on their faces when i drop top 10% at a T10 on their asses. also, fear of failure (i.e., not being at the top).

Re: What Drives You?
I'm not in law school anymore, but I was driven during law school by fear of failure, and a need to confirm that I am as smart as I thought I was - not genius (tests might say otherwise, but I know I always need to reassess what I think I know) but smarter than most. I didn't want to find out that all these years of telling myself that I was very intelligent and had just not applied myself in undergrad were a lie, and that I was ordinary (explaining away my terrible undergrad GPA, but I majored in Philosophy, so, come on).
Of course, I was right, as always! However, having excelled in law school, it put me in a job surrounded by similarly intelligent people, and its weird not always being the smartest person in the room anymore. But, I’m only better being around smarter people than I.
Oh, and cash. I wanted lots of cash to buy fun things.

Re: What Drives You?
My motivation comes from:
- -the fact that my wife and I prayerfully made the decision to move across the country together for school,
-she's working full-time to pay our bills while I study, and
-when I graduate I want to return the favor by paying off the rest of our debt and providing for her and our future children.

Every time I drive by my neighbor's mansion, my daughter says "Daddy, I'd rather have that house."

Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just... get more and more degrees.Shooter wrote:Some men aren't looking for anything logical. Some men - just want to watch the world burn.
