Law seems like a never ending rat race.
You’re essentially competing your entire life.
Competing to go to Oxbridge law, after that competing to top the bar exams, competing to work in a white shoe or magic circle, competing to top the billable chart, competing to earn the most money, marry the most desirable spouse, send children to RI/RGS, live in a huge bungalow, etc.
The competition never stops the day you are admitted to law school.
Slack off at any stage or letting your guard down is fatal
