What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
When you say my industry, I guess I would say practicing employment law. The thing I enjoy most about that are a couple of things.
Number one, we mostly do the plaintiff side of work, meaning the employee side. So we get to learn about all different types of industries.
We have to understand the nuts and bolts of how they work if we're going to file a lawsuit and get involved in litigation. This ranges from insurance to construction, to truck driving, to restaurants, and so on. We get those types of employees as our clients.
It's interesting to see how those things operate from the inside. The other nice thing about this industry is there is some sense that you're actually helping people.
These are people who have been wronged in some way, perhaps they weren't paid their wages, or they experienced harassment or discrimination. You're actually righting a wrong, so to speak.
