Doctor, or Lawyer?

That is the real question.

Because the question is not, do I want to go to law school?  I do.  Unquestionably.  I absolutely relish the very thought of the challenge and think I would thrive in that atmosphere.  But do I want to spend the rest of my working life as an attorney?  That, I can't answer as quickly or as definitively.  Part of me relishes that thought, and yet...

...the past year has been all about my getting into a physical therapy school.  That, frankly, IS something I could see myself doing for the rest of my life.  But will I be able to get into school?  If I were looking at two acceptances, the choice would be clear.  Maybe.  I think.  Doesn't matter, though, because I'm not.  I wonder if I can defer my acceptance, or if this is a one shot deal?  If so, do I blow the shot, in hopes that I'll also get into a PT school?  If I don't get in, will I be kicking myself in the ass for passing this up?

Lots of thinking to do, so for the moment, I'm just relishing the fact that I actually got into Law School.  While I'm sure that's not the world's most earth-shattering accomplishment, it ain't half bad, either.
