Kim Kardashian broke the Internet this week, but not for the usual reasons. The 38-year-old reality star and entrepreneur revealed in an interview with Vogue that she is currently studying to be a lawyer. You read that right!
Kim is planning to take her first-year law exam — which is commonly referred to as the "baby bar" — this Summer, with the goal of taking the bar exam in 2022. She's started a four-year apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm and is working closely with the team to learn as much as she can. In her own words, "If I knew more, I could do more." Naturally, the response to Kim's new endeavor has been mixed: many admire her for continuing her education and consider the step "a fantastic use of her time and wealth," but there are also those who presume that Kim "bribed her way" into a law program, or suggest that she can't possibly become a lawyer because of her sexy public persona.
OK, so Kim doesn't have a college degree, and perhaps her outfits are a bit more revealing than most attorneys; but that didn't stop Elle Woods, now did it? Personally, I think anyone who takes the step to further their education should be commended, regardless of how many nude selfies they post — and truth be told, I actually think Kim would make a pretty decent lawyer. I'd love to present my evidence to the court. Care to consider my argument?
