Nightmares Futures Past: Scenario 4 (First Career)

Despite having high expectations from working with my uncle, I did not get what I expected. Because I do not a lot of experience, I only have a Bachelors and since I am not familiar with the system, I am working as an amateur lawyer with a low salary of $40,000. This does not satisfy me and I strongly believe that there is much more that my skills and knowledge can live up to. 

But now that I am already finished my undergrad to be a lawyer and since I have saved up enough money over the last 4 years through part-time jobs (my scholarship took care of most of my costs and my parents took care of costs such as books), I can go back to university and earn a Masters degree in Law, which can ensure me at least a $100,000 job in my future as a lawyer.

Even though I have worked so hard to earn my Bachelors, at the end of the day, all that matters is the degree I have. And Bachelors is not enough if I want to live up to the expectations of being a lawyer. So, with all my savings, I am going to go back to UofT to get my Masters, and even though that means I will take years to complete it, it is still going to be loads better than what I have now. Just because I have just an ounce of gold so far does not mean I have to head in a different direction - I have to keep moving forward to earn bigger pots of gold. Thus, for me, getting a Masters from Law is the best choice there is.
