What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
What do I enjoy most? It's the people. You get to watch them throughout their careers.
There was a time when I was the intern coordinator for an undergrad program. I could make selections.
It was fulfilling to see people I selected go on to law school. I try to stay connected with them on LinkedIn.
Seeing them grow and achieve their goals is rewarding. For example, interns I thought would be good lawyers actually went on to succeed.
We've had students run for office or do other impressive things. Watching someone's career trajectory is pretty amazing.
