You just graduated from Harvard Law School, summa laude, at the top of your class. Choose your path forward. Want to clerk for a Court of Appeals? The Supreme Court? Perhaps you would like to go into private practice right away or pick up skills as you enter public service as a prosecutor or a defense attorney or even assume political office. Or screw all that and enter the academe first like Ginsburg did. Hell, you could apply for an unrelated job like journalism ala Megyn Kelly or marry a rich man and leave the profession behind. Do as you please.
